On 14 July he made his first-class debut, playing for an England team in the third of the 1945 Victory Tests against the Australian Services XI, sharing a partnership of 55 with Len Hutton. White played three first-class matches for Middlesex between 1946 and 1947 and made one appearance each for the Marylebone Cricket Club and the Royal Air Force.
