The following WNCL season, Cameron made only 35 runs in her first four matches and was dropped for the remainder of the competition, although she was selected in the Australian Under-21 team to play against England and Australia.

The 2008–09 season started with a similar series, this time against Australia and India, and Cameron scored consecutive half-centuries and totalled 157 runs at 78.50. Cameron scored 206 runs at 22.88 in the WNCL season and won a call-up to the national team. She made her debut in the Rose Bowl series and after failing to capitalise on her starts in the first three matches, was dropped. Cameron was selected in six of Australia's seven matches for the 2009 World Cup, scoring 81 runs at 16.20 as the hosts placed fourth. She also played in the World Twenty20 in England but was dropped after the first match. She played in three of the five subsequent ODIs against England but failed to pass single figures.
