Rahkeem Cornwall 🏏

Rakheem Cornwall defies expectations. Standing 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighing around 300 pounds, he might not fit the typical image of a cricketer. Yet, this “man mountain” is a powerful lower middle-order batsman and a useful off-spinner who has consistently impressed in domestic cricket.

In 2016, Cornwall played for the WICB President’s XI against the touring Indian team, taking a five-wicket haul that caught everyone's attention with his clever off-spin. Later that year, he toured Sri Lanka and took 23 wickets in four unofficial Tests against Sri Lanka A.

Early 2018 saw him performing well for the England Lions, alongside some big centuries in the Super 50 One Day competition.

The West Indies Cricket Board has been keeping an eye on Cornwall’s progress, and selector chairman Courtney Browne said in 2017 that if Cornwall can lose weight, he will definitely be considered for the West Indies team.
