Adrian Barath is the 'baby' of the West Indies team and is looking to take it step by step as he prepares for the upcoming Test series against Australia. The talented opener is just 19 years old and stands just 5-foot-4-inches, but he has already put up some impressive numbers in his short first-class career.

He will be hoping to get into the starting XI when the West Indies take the field on Wednesday (Tuesday night Caribbean Time) to face Queensland in a four-day match at the Allan Border Field. After that, he has his eyes set on opening the innings in the Test matches against Australia. The teenager has a level head on his small shoulders and said he is looking to take it one step at a time.

"It is an honour to be part of the West Indies team. This is something I have been waiting for since I started playing cricket as a little boy. This is a privilege," he said.

Last month, Barath was praised for his performances during Trinidad and Tobago's great run at the Champions League Twenty20 tournament in India. Earlier this year, he also showed his class with a brilliant century for West Indies 'A' team against England during their tour of the Caribbean.

"I'm confident - I have worked hard and I'm prepared. I performed well in the Champions League in India for Trinidad and Tobago and I'm looking to continue. All I want is the opportunity to get out there and show what I am made of. I am a player who can adapt to foreign conditions. I will play it as I see it," Barath said, "Everyone has been extremely helpful and I feel very comfortable."
