The Namibia tour reports from coach Gus Logie and manager El James will be reviewed by Bermuda Cricket Board tonight ? with allegations of racial sledging understood to be included.

The reports, routinely filed after overseas trips, were submitted late last week to the BCB although no action has yet been taken on any allegations they contain.

Bermuda travelled to Namibia last month for an Intercontinental Cup semi-final against Kenya ? they were beaten in a creditable losing draw ? but the controversy came in two ?friendlies? against the hosts.

Logie?s side were well beaten in both games, although the second day ended in hostility and controversy with the coach taking the players off the pitch with overs remaining after tail-ender Kevin Hurdle was subjected to three consecutive short balls from Namibian strike bowler Kola Burger.

It is understood Logie?s three-page submission contains details of that incident ? including a repeat of his explanation that he took the players off for their own safety ? as well as comments regarding the racially-motivated sledging his players were subjected to by their all-white opponents.

James? four-page report also contains information on that subject as well as re-hashing the events surrounding the passport row which nearly saw bowler Kevin Tucker sent home from the airport for having damaged documentation. Details of the illnesses that affected both Hurdle and Tucker which kept them out of the Kenya game are also included.

As well as considering the contents of the reports, the Board are also expected to discuss the outburst from Namibian Cricket Board chairman Francois Erasmus who launched a furious attack on the Bermuda team via a cricket website just days after they arrived home.

Although it is too late to take action against any individual Namibian players under the ICC Code of Conduct, the Board have the option of complaining to both the ICC and the Namibians directly although it is understood they are looking to avoid a public row over the accusations and will not be going on the attack in the way Erasmus did ? they are planning to deal with it an a ?professional? manner, according a source close to the Board.

Umpires Esten Curtis and Kent Gibbons are flying to Costa Rica tomorrow to complete their West Indies Cricket Board Level One course.

The BCB lobbied the ICC to get two representatives for the course as part of their four-year plan to improve standards in the domestic game.

?We are looking at giving our umpires of all levels opportunities, not just the elite ones such as Roger Dill who has officiated all over the world this year? said BCB chief executive Neil Speight. ?It is part of our plan to improve the infrastructure and the domestic game as a whole.?

Further umpires? courses are planned ahead of next season.
