This is the player page of Craig White, Yorkshire's all-rounder and former captain. Looking for a big season this year to extend his career. His runs will be vital in 2007...

For more information on Craig's career and for all of his up-to-date records and statistics.

Looking for a successful season to extend his career.

Craig is has matured as a player and all-rounder since his debut in 1990. A proud Yorkshire man who is annoyed that some people refer to him as an Australian. His family took him to Oz as a young child and Craig spent his early cricketing years there but was born and belongs here. 

Craig gave up the Yorkshire captaincy at the end of the 2006 season after securing Yorkshire's division one status and gaining promotion a season before.

White collapsed in the streets of his home town Scarborough in 2000 and recovered with a fresh outlook. He played with a renewed freedom which saw him selected as England's regular all-rounder where he achieved much success.

An aggressive batsman and a deceptively quick bowler, when fit. A persistent knee injury had prevented him from bowling in recent seasons. 

Craig has one year left on his contract and is looking for a big year to extend his career at the club. If this is to be his last season playing for the white rose county, there will be a huge number of people sad to see him hang up his Yorkshire cap for the last time.
