BERMUDA will stick with the same squad of players who took on the West Indies and Canada last week outside of Toronto in the Scotiabank ODI Tri-Series. And that means there will be no place in the team for opening batsman Chris Foggo for next week's Intercontinental Cup match against Namibia.

Foggo was recently found guilty of drug possession.

"It's a ticklish situation, but we have said before we want him to be involved with us in order to help his rehabilitation," said national coach Gus Logie. "I want him to keep training with us. He won't be ruled out and we're here to help him in any way possible. He will get his opportunity somewhere down the road once the dust has cleared.

"Most likely we'll select from the squad that travelled to Canada. We have to back the guys we have been working with over the last few months. The guys have been showing some improvement.

"Chris Douglas was one of the real successes of the tour to Canada, the mature way in which he played and the courage and skill he showed will encourage others to learn and take a leaf from each other's book. A little more thought needs to be put into each individual's innings. That is something that is going to take some time. With patience, sometimes you only have so much of it and it does test your patience some times."

Logie was referring to the manner in which some of the senior batsmen were dismissed in the matches against Canada and the West Indies, saying the players don't seem to be learning from their mistakes.

"It's a work in progress and you have to keep believing in the guys and backing them," he said.

Namibia have announced a 14-man squad for the game starting next Wednesday at the National Sports Centre. The squad contains debutant Bernard Scholtz who represented his country in February's Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia. Scholtz is the younger brother of Nicholaas and is a slow left-arm bowler.

The match comes a few weeks after Bermuda's loss to Scotland in an Intercontinental match on home soil, the highlight from Bermuda's perspective being Stephen Outerbridge's century in the second innings.

Bermuda are propping up the ICC Intercontinental Cup standings with 26 points while an in-form and undefeated Namibia are second in the standings behind Kenya by 14 points but with a game in hand.

"Our target is to reach the finals of the ICC Intercontinental Cup and it will be bitter sweet to meet fellow Africans, Kenya, in the final," said Namibia captain Louis Burger.

Kenya replaced Namibia at the top of the tables after thrashing Holland by an innings within two days. However, despite that emphatic victory Kenya could still miss out on a place in the final as both Namibia and Ireland could pip them to the post. Kenya have one match remaining, at home to Ireland, while Namibia also have to play Ireland at home.

Namibia will be anxious for a victory in Bermuda, but recent inactivity (their cricket season has been on a break since April) could count against them. However there is plenty at stake as a victory in Bermuda will ensure a place in the final of the competition in Dubai in November.
