White was the domestic one-day tournament's top-scorer last season with 457 runs at 76.16, including two hundreds and two fifties. He has played four Tests, 88 ODIs and 47 Twenty20 internationals and replaces big-hitting Lynn who was ruled out with a calf problem. "Cameron's in very good form, as his figures demonstrate. He's playing very well," chief selector Trevor Hohns said.

"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." Cameron White, whose last ODI appearance was in January 2015, is back in the squad https://t.co/VgSOPm8FKK #AUSvENG
