It is expected the Geelong-based young gun will open the batting in the match which will begin at 5pm.
In the Cricket 365 tournament in Darwin which features a string of Big Bash and state representatives, Jackson has also been playing with City Cyclones and hit a boundary off the final ball recently in a Twenty20 to deliver his side victory.
It is an important period for Jackson, who will be looking to carry plenty of momentum into the Premier Cricket season with the Cats after fully recovering from a knee injury which hampered his 2021-22 campaign.
Jackson has been a consistent run scorer for the Cats since making his first XI debut in 2018-19 as a teenager, scoring five centuries and six half-centuries from 49 matches.
