Highest run scorers of Under-19 World Cups: Where are they now?

2002- Cameron White

Cameron White didn’t quite live up to the expectations

The 2002 edition of the tournament saw Australia emerge victorious, thanks to the efforts of the highly talented prodigy, Cameron White. White, who was also the leader of that side, finished as the highest run-getter in that tournament with 423 runs and led his troops to an emphatic win.

However, in the early days of his career, he was more of a leg-spinner who could use the long handle effectively. White made his debut for the senior ODI side in 2005 and later went on make his Test debut as a leg-spinner in 2008 against India. Despite showing so much promise, the talented cricketer could only manage to play 4 Tests, 88 ODIs and 47 T20Is for Australia before he was dropped from the national team owing to his inconsistent performances.

White, however still plays first-class cricket for his state side Victoria and he is one of their main players. Having led Victoria at a tender age of 20, White was widely expected to scale great heights in future but somehow his career failed to reach the level where it was supposed to.
