Batting behemoth wows Windies

At 140kg he looks more like a rugby prop but don’t let this man’s love handles fool you.

Standing 2m tall, Rakheem Cornwall has become a sensation with cricket fans around the world after belting England’s bowlers around the park during a recent practice match.

The 24-year-old is pretty nifty with bat and ball smacking 59 off 61 against England and taking 125 wickets in 25 first class matches.

He’s seen as a future international star if he can shed the weight according to West Indies chairman of selectors.

"We're actually putting a program in place for Rahkeem where we are actually going to have someone to manage him overall," said Browne

"We are looking at the various components of him playing cricket where we are looking at coaches, dietitians, and just getting everybody to come together to help this young player because he's a special talent."

Cornwall says he wants to make the most of his opportunities and is committed to losing weight.

"So I am putting in my best and putting in the work to lose the weight if that is the case — because it can't be performance so I will do what I have to do to make the West Indies team."

In the above video Rahkeem Cornwall hit an unbeaten 74 off 50 balls to take Leeward Islands to an impressive win against Windward Islands in a domestive T20 game.

And its plainly obvious the batting behemoth has a huge wealth of talent too.
