Cameron White: Ditched by Australia due to poor form

Sky Bet

Former Twenty20 captain Cameron White has vowed to return to form and win back his place in Australia's side.

White was last week left out of Australia's T20 squad to face India in Sydney and then Melbourne following a slump in form.

He has now vowed to end his run drought at state level, starting with Victoria's Sheffield Shield clash against South Australia on Thursday, in a bid to return to the national set-up.

"(A return is) probably a fair way away at the moment but I am confident it (international career) is not over," White said.

Ability

"It's the same old line but I have to basically go back score and take wickets. I have faith in my ability.

"For me it starts in Adelaide on Thursday."

White's top score in all forms of cricket since the World Cup is a meagre 36 and he managed just 55 runs from eight knocks at just 7.86 for the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League.

"My Big Bash wasn't great. It was awful, to be honest. It's nobody else's fault. My performances weren't good enough," White said.

"At the end of the day that's what matters, I guess. If you aren't good enough to get into the team you aren't good enough to be captain."
