A former carpenter apprentice, Ben is living his dream by playing cricket for Ireland. A tall leg-spinner who bowls into the pitch, he is still making his way in the international game, but has played featured in all three formats.
While legspinners are better known for their impact in T20 cricket these days, White’s proudest moment was when he made his test debut.
After two seasons playing for the Northern Knights, White made the move to the Munster Reds in 2023.
He has his sights set on playing franchise cricket in the future, but his focus is on playing as much as he can for Ireland.
