Clarke says White must target all-rounder role for Oz ODI future
April 9th, 2011 - 1:05 pm ICT by ANIDhaka, Apr 9(ANI): Michael Clarke has said that one of his first projects as the new Australian captain would be nudging Cameron White back as an effective all-rounder.
White’s leg-spin bowling was a key component of his game when he began his career, but he has barely bowled in recent years.
“His bowling can play a big part for Australia going forward, especially in the shorter forms of the game,” Fox Sports quoted Clarke, as saying.
Clarke further said that the 27-year-old underestimates his value with the ball.
“He’s certainly got the talent, now it’s about getting some overs under his belt, so he gradually builds that confidence back into his bowling,” Clarke said.
“I think Whitey is an all-rounder,” he added. (ANI)
