Clever selection of Cameron White

It was a good call by the Australian cricket selectors to add Victorian captain Cameron White to the Australian squad for the tour of India.

White replaces Victorian teammate Bryce McGain who sustained a shoulder injury.

Many people were tipping former WA (now NSW) left-arm chinaman bowler Beau Casson to get the nod.

White is more experienced and should be better suited to Indian conditions. He pushes the ball through like Anil Kumble. The extra pace will be handy on slow tracks.

They should put White into the side ahead of the offspinner Jason Krejza
