Australia’s chairman of selectors Trevor Hohns says Victorian stalwart Cameron White has a short memory, labelling his international career as nothing “earth shattering”.
Hohns says he’s surprised at White’s criticism of Australian selection policies as not making sense.
White on Tuesday said it appeared the Australian team “at some stages is a development team”, saying Sheffied Shield and one-day domestic performances were being discounted by national selectors.
“You can get picked to play for Australia in any format out of Big Bash, really. It doesn’t make a lot of sense,” White said.
But Hohns hit back, saying White should remember he was a 22-year-old when first picked for Australia.
“I’m a little bit surprised by those comments, to be quite honest,” Hohns told reporters in Adelaide on Wednesday.
“The Sheffield Shield has been well-documented as being very important to us in Australian cricket – selectors, everybody.
“And then younger players – I think he just needs to remember that he was a very young man when he was given his first opportunity in one-day cricket.
“I don’t think there is any disparity there at all, to be honest.
“Cameron has had plenty of opportunities … he has had plenty of opportunities in the past and it’s probably fair to say performed okay without being earth shattering.”

It seems franchise cricket has forgotten about the great battle between bat and ball. In fact, this season in the IPL there is no battle at all.
The mammoth rise of Jake Fraser-McGurk - his enormous potential and the destructive shot-making that he possesses makes him a very tempting option.
