White was brought up in Australia, but later moved back to England, his country of birth, where he became Yorkshire's first-ever overseas signing.

When Raymond Illingworth became the new Chairman of Selectors for the English cricket team in 1994, he wanted the England team to contain an all-rounder who could bat at number 6 and bowl first-change.

By this time, White had been playing in England long enough to qualify for the national team and he made his Test debut against New Zealand. His performances were inconsistent and he was dropped after 8 matches.
