Rahkeem Cornwall picks six compatriots in all-time XI, names no Indian

Rahkeem Cornwall's quirky personality is a known fact in the cricketing fraternity, both among players and the fans. The West Indian all-rounder seems to be the symbol of everything non-conventional, be it his playing style on the field or personality off it. Recently, the world was able to witness yet another instance of the cricketer's unusual thinking method when he was asked to name an all-time XI in an interview with Cricketnmore.

Cornwall's first pick from Asia was the wily Rashid Khan, who despite being in his early 20s has already established himself as a T20 legend. His abilities with both the bat and the ball make him a prized possession for any T20 franchise in the world and if he continues to play with the same success till his 30s, will probably go down with some seemingly unbeatable records in the game's shortest format. Mitchell Starc was the next name to appear on the list, the Australian being one of the most prolific bowlers of recent times and widely considered as one of the greatest swing bowlers of the present era.

Just when a hint of normality seemed to be settling into Cornwall's team, the 6-foot 5-inch heavyweight of the game surprised yet again by picking Pakistani pacer, Wahab Riaz. Even though he was a force to be reckoned with in his prime, the fast bowler never really managed to fulfil his potential. Capping off the team was spinner Sunil Narine, another player who has enjoyed great success in the T20 arena. Notably, Cornwall's team did not include any Indian or English players while featuring six of his countrymen. Eventually, it came to be an unorthodox lineup but certainly a force to be reckoned with especially in limited-overs cricket.
