(Sportsmax) West Indies spinner, Rahkeem Cornwall, is eager to make use of what could be a solid opportunity on the upcoming tour of Bangladesh, which will provide conditions more suited to spin bowling.
Amidst a flurry of withdrawals, Cornwall was one of the current members of the squad to readily accept the invitation to tour the Asian country next month.
The 27-year-old has been part of the West Indies squad since being invited to the England tour with the team in July. He then traveled to New Zealand with the team for the tour that took place in December. Cornwall has, however, had a difficult time making an impact. Called to the first-team squad for the third Test in England, the spinner bowled 46 overs but did get a wicket.

He was not added to the first team for the New Zealand tour. On the slower, more spin-friendly matches in Bangladesh, however, the player hopes to have a much bigger impact.
“I think I’m in a good space and we know Bangladesh is known for being more conducive to spin, so I just have to set my mind for a next ‘bubble’ and go out there and perform the way I should,” Cornwall told the Antigua Observer.
“I went on two tours in England and New Zealand and there was nothing there for spinners, and after playing three Test matches, I finally got something that suits me and I hope I can go there and perform,” he added.
Cornwall will have good memories of performing in Asia, as he claimed his career-best figures of 7 for 75 against Bangladesh last year.
