White starred in the Matador Cup as the competition’s highest runs scorer averaging 76.

But the 33-year-old, who hasn’t represented Australia since January, 2015, failed to gain the attention of selectors despite key injuries and drops in form of current squad members.

“We’ve seen with selection over the last period of time that the Big Bash seems to be the be-all and end-all,” White told RSN 927 Breakfast radio.

“You can get picked to play for Australian in any format out of the Big Bash, really. It doesn’t make a lot of sense.  

“I’m just a little worried to be honest, on the importance the selectors are putting on domestic cricket.

“For years, the strength of the Australian game has been the domestic game. I’m just not sure that there has been much importance put on that and it worries me for the future of Australian cricket and the strength of Australian cricket.”

White said he was concerned future stars would not have state cricket aspirations and instead focus on the shortest form of the game.

“The worry for me is that if I’m a young player sitting at home, I’m thinking I’m not going to worry about State cricket, I’m just going to put all my energy into the Big Bash,” he said.

“Whatever I do, I’m just going to try and get a Big Bash contract somewhere because I know that’s a great opportunity to picked for Australia.”
