Victorian captain and Australian limited overs batsman Cameron White has revealed that he has been working on his bowling in an attempt to enhance his chances of further national selection.
The 27-year-old has played only four Tests in his career, on the tour of India two years ago but has been a mainstay of the one-day and Twenty20 teams since midway through 2008 at international level.
Having claimed just five wickets in those four Tests as well as 12 in 68 ODIs and one in his 22 T20 appearances, White has earned selection for the most part as a batsman even though he broke into the first-class ranks with the Bushrangers as a 17-year-old a decade ago.
"And if an opportunity comes in the other formats at the next level that'd be great but it's the same old story, you can't really worry too much about that, I've just got to make sure I'm scoring runs and give myself the best opportunity."
"I'm always working away on my bowling ... and then on the weekend I bowled six or seven overs of leg-spin in the trial game which I bowled quite well," he added.
"We had a practice match the other day which was our first look at the new format and that went pretty well," White said.
"I'm pretty excited about it actually."
"There's a fair bit of new stuff in there, rule changes and simply the format as well."
"I think it all shapes up as a good format and competition so I think we'll look forward to it."
