Popular off-spinning all-rounder Rahkeem Cornwall is set to make his long-awaited Test debut after being named in a 13-man squad for the first Test against India on Friday by Cricket West Indies selection panel.
The burly 26-year-old is the only new face in the squad which also includes uncapped Shamarh Brooks, who was a part of the squad for the England series earlier this year but did not feature.
Cornwall has taken 260 wickets from 55 first class matches at an average of 24, dominating for West Indies A and for domestic franchise Leeward Islands Hurricanes.
SQUAD – Jason Holder (captain), Kraigg Brathwaite, Roston Chase, Darrem Bravo, John Campbell, Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope, Shannon Gabriel, Rahkeem Cornwall, Keemo Paul, Shane Dowrich, Kemar Roach, Shamarh Brooks.
