West Indies spinner, Rahkeem Cornwall, has already made a massive contribution with the ball after claiming five wickets against Bangladesh on day three of the second Test but has already targeted having a say with the bat as well, should he get the opportunity.
Cornwall, who has previously shown himself to be a good striker of the ball, particularly in the cricket's shortest format, is yet to translate any of that skill in recent Test team call-ups. In five innings so far, Cornwall has a high of 10 runs, which he scored against England in July.
In Bangladesh, Cornwall, batting far down the order, scored 2 in the first innings of the first Test and ended without scoring in the second. He added 4 not out in the first innings of the second Test. If he is called upon, for Saturday’s fourth day, the bowler could be looking to free his arms for a useful total.
“Once I get the opportunity I would always love to contribute with the bat,” Cornwall said following day three.
“I don’t think my batting ability is showing at the moment, but I think runs are around the corner for me. I just have to keep putting in the work with the coaches and when my opportunity comes I make good use if it.”
