At a time when most of the young cricketers are lured by “easy money” in thriving T20 leagues, West Indian Rahkeem Cornwall, the heaviest ever to play the five-day format at more than 140kg, has got his priorities straight.

The 27-year-old spinner wants to “nail down” his Test career, which is only three games old, and if leagues like the IPL happen along the way, it would be a “bonus”.

Speaking to PTI from Trinidad, where he is making an impact with both bat and ball for St Lucia Zouks in the CPL, Cornwall expressed his devotion to Test cricket.

“If I can play the T20 format and travel the world and play leagues it would be good but my aim is to be one of the most successful Test players out there.

“Playing Test cricket is the art of cricket, everyone wants to play Test cricket and do well. I have already played the format, I just want to make sure I get what I am really looking for in Test cricket and when my times comes to retire, I don’t have any regrets,” said Cornwall.

West Indies cricket has enjoyed most success in the shortest format over the past 10 years with a chunk of its players going on make a name and some handsome amount of money in T20 leagues around the world.

Cornwall too is open to becoming a T20 globetrotter but not before he achieves his goals in Test cricket.

“If I get to play different leagues around the world, it would be a bonus for me but the main focus is to keep pushing my Test career,” said the offie who made his Test debut against India in Jamaica last year when he took three wickets including Cheteshwar Pujara's.

He had also dismissed India skipper Virat Kohli in a tour game in 2016.

“Pujara is a quality player, a good player of spin. To get him was a joy, more so as it was my first Test wicket,” recalled Cornwall, who is yet to make his limited overs debut for West Indies but is confident of doing so with a successful outing the ongoing CPL.

At the moment, he likes to be known as the off-spinner who can “drastically” improve with the bat.

The constant chatter around his size doesn't bother him but he would want to be fitter and leaner to the point where he is able to perform at his best in all formats.
