Shane, who died earlier this year, was granted “legend” status last week.
He was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame as an Athlete Member in 2009.
Shane’s three children admitted earlier this month that they find it too painful to watch cricket matches following the tragic death of their father in March.
“When I hear cricket, it’s … that missing voice that I can’t hear anymore,” Jackson said in a lengthy interview with 7NEWS.

Summer added: “Cricket was his sport and it doesn’t feel right without him.”
“It has probably been the toughest nine months of my life so far. I miss him every day,” she added.
Brooke said it was “great” that the Great Southern Stand at the MCG was renamed the Shane Warne Stand in honor of her father.
Earlier this month, Jackson paid an emotional tribute to his father.

“Over the years he’s received so many awards and accolades, trophies, broken records, and he’s never had a trophy cabinet,” Jackson said.
“He never showed everything he had or talked about his accolades or constantly posted about the records he was going to break, but I know for a fact that an accolade he received yesterday, legendary status, is something that he would do, speak and something that he would be proud of.
He continued: “Because that puts him in a category of 44 Australian athletes, so now in 10 years, 20 years, 50 years when people go into the MCG and see all the people in the Hall of Fame who are in gold, who are of legendary status, he will be there forever.
“Because you can get rid of all the politics, the mistakes, the antics on and off the field, this award will go down in history forever and he would be proud of it because he was an Aussie legend.
Jackson concluded, “It’s just a shame he wasn’t here to see it because I know he would appreciate that award very much, but he would be proud.
“Me Brooke and Summer and Australians around the world we are proud of you dad we miss you very much love you very much congratulations.”
