It was there that he made his debut in first-class cricket for Cambridge University Cricket Club against Surrey at Fenner's in 1958.
In his sixth match of 1958 against the touring New Zealanders, White was hit in the mouth by a delivery from Bob Blair.

Thereafter, he only appeared sporadically in 1958 and 1959, making seven further appearances.
White made a total of 22 first-class appearances for the university, scoring a total of 549 runs at an average of just 14.83.
His highest score of 64, one of two half centuries he made, came against Nottinghamshire in 1960.

After graduating from Cambridge, he became a banker.
