Rahkeem Cornwall, the 29-year-old Antiguan, is a right-arm off-spin bowler, a hard-hitter and bats at the lower order. Known for his heavy build with 6ft 6inches height, Cornwall is known as Jimbo, the humourous, shy, humble and cricket-mad kid who became a potential cricket star with his grit & dedication.

Cornwall, with 260 wickets and 2224 runs in 55 matches for the Leeward Islands, made his debut in International cricket against India in 2019. Moreover, the Windies Cricket board is continuously putting in efforts with the player to bring his best version to the international level.

Speaking about his fitness issues during an interview with Antigua Observer in 2018, Cornwall said, “A lot of people underestimate me because of my size. I fool a lot of people — especially bowling from my height and getting a lot of spins. So, losing weight would probably help my health more than anything else. But I’m fine as I am now”.
