why over weight unfit rahkeem cornwall in west indies team

Roseau (Dominica): The West Indies team is playing the first match of the Test series against India (WI vs IND) in Dominica. West Indies’ innings was reduced to just 150 runs on the first day of the match. The team’s batting failed completely. No batsman could last long in front of Indian spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. In this match, West Indies also included Rahkeem Cornwall in the playing XI. After November 2021, he got a chance to play for the first time.

weight more than 140 kg

Rahkeem Cornwall is the world’s heaviest player playing Test cricket. In 2019, he made his debut against India only. At that time he was 140 kg. Now it is said that he is between 143 to 145 kg. Even after this, the West Indies got him back. Cornwall is also called the most unfit cricketer. They have the power but it is very difficult to run away.

Cricket is a game of agility. Here a player is needed who is fit. Players start fighting when there is a slight reason. Rahkeem Cornwall has more weight here. With Cornwall at the crease, it is impossible for any batsman to steal runs quickly. It is also almost impossible for him to dive into the fielding. Even after this why West Indies included him in the team. This is the biggest question.

Could not leave a mark even in bowling

Rahkeem Cornwall played an unbeaten inning of 19 runs in batting. During this it was clearly visible that he was not able to run fast. He didn’t do anything amazing in bowling either. Indian batsmen scored 17 runs against them in 4 overs bowling. There is nothing special in his bowling that can trouble the batsmen. Then what is the compulsion that the West Indies brought Cornwall back into the team?
