Amongst franchise cricket, the veteran featured for Royal Challengers Bangalore, Deccan Chargers, and Sunrisers Hyderabad too.
“I’ve definitely finished up playing, that’s for sure. I had a one-year playing contract with the Strikers. I only played a handful of games with them last year and in those games I would have needed to play really well to get another deal. To be totally honest, I’m pretty content. I think my time is definitely up, I’ve had enough from a playing point of view and I’m ready to focus on coaching,” White told cricket.com.au.
