Cameron White has replaced the injured Chris Lynn in Australia's squad for this month's one-day international series against England.

White has been in outstanding limited-overs form with 285 runs at an average of 142.5 and a strike-rate of 115.85 for the Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League.

The 34-year-old right-hander was the domestic one-day tournament's top-scorer last season with 457 runs at an average of 76.16, including two hundreds and two fifties.

White played the last of his 88 ODIs in 2015 and replaces big-hitting Lynn who was ruled out with a calf problem.

"Cameron's in very good form, as his figures demonstrate. He's playing very well," selector Trevor Hohns said.

"He's one of the leading run-scorers in this season's BBL, he's experienced, he's a very smart cricketer and he's a good fielder. He ticks all the boxes for what we need at this stage."
