Australian all-rounder Cameron White has been included in the ODI squad after a huge gap of three-years against England which begins on Sunday. White has replaced injured Chris Lynn in the team.

Lynn was earlier named in the squad following his heroics in the Big Bash League for the past two years. But a calf injury forced him to get ruled out of the series and that gave White an unlikely recall to the national squad, who has played 88 ODIs for Australia but his last game come in 2015.

The series opener of the five-match ODI series will be played in Melbourne on Sunday as both the teams will be traveling to Brisbane for the second ODI, Sydney for the third game, Adelaide for the penultimate ODI and the final will be played in Perth.

Explaining Cameron’s selection, selector, Trevor Hohns said, “Cameron’s in very good form, as his figures demonstrate. He’s playing very well. He’s one of the leading run-scorers in this season’s BBL, he’s experienced, he’s a very smart cricketer and he’s a good fielder. He ticks all the boxes for what we need at this stage.”

White has been brilliant during the ongoing season of the Big Bash League (BBL) for the Melbourne Renegades. Even in the previous two years, White has been exceptional for Victoria in Sheffield Shield.
