England seamer Steven Finn has revealed that his target is to become the number one Test bowler in the world.

Finn has been widely praised for his success during a relatively short international career and the Middlesex bowler admits that he has high personal standards.

The 23-year-old said: "You set yourself the highest goals possible and my ultimate aim is to be the best bowler in the world.

"It is what I've wanted ever since I was nine years old and remains so now. Without that goal, I don't think there would be any point in me being a fast bowler and playing cricket."

Finn will be in contention to face West Indies this month, with the first Test taking place at Lords.
