About Cameron White

A World cup winning captain still in his teens, Cameron White had the world at his feet as he had led Australia Under19s to a World Cup win in the 2002 edition. He created history again by becoming the youngest captain for Victoria at the age of 20 in 2003-04. To start off, he was a bowler who could bat a bit, but over the years, he has become a hard-hitting batsmen who hardly bowls.

White had a difficult start to his domestic career. He struggled to be consistent and was dropped after a poor 2005 season. He led by example for Somerset in 2006 by scoring 1190 first class runs and the selectors looked at him as a bowling all-rounder. He was selected in the squad for the ODIs against the ICC World XI. His first major contribution was during the Chappell-Hadlee series in 2007, where he thumped 42 off 19 balls. However, he could not cement his spot due to his inconsistent bowling.
