However, the governments of other Caribbean nations decided the tour could continue, and Jackman finally earned his first Test cap for England at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados in the Third Test, where he removed Gordon Greenidge to a catch in the slips for his first wicket on the way to collecting 3–65. He appeared in the final Test as well and then had to wait just over a year before gaining two further outings, both against Pakistan, finishing with 14 wickets from four Test appearances. Inclusion on an Ashes tour to Australia followed but, despite England's lacklustre attack, he was not picked until the one-day internationals.
