White's recent form with the bat, athleticism in the field and ability with the old ball in one-day cricket make him a likely contributor in all three departments.
He is struggling with a side strain, but England's attempt to speed up his recovery in time to figure again in the ongoing VB Series speaks volumes for his importance to the team these days.
Showed his ability with the bat by making a super 85 not out in England's fourth-Test defeat in Melbourne, but missed the final Test in Sydney due to that side strain.
Gives England a dangerous change of pace with the ball, generating surprising speed from a short run.
