Two changes have been made to Bermuda's Under-19 national squad that departs for a 10-day training camp in Trinidad and Tobago tomorrow.

PHC wicketkeeper Khiry Furbert and Warwick batsman Steven Bremar Jr. were originally selected to go on the tour but will now remain in Bermuda instead.

Bremar is currently training with the senior national squad in preparation for next February's Standford 20/20 Tournament in Antigua while Furbert will skip the trip for personal reasons. Coming in as replacements are St. George's leg spinner Tre Govia and Social Club wicketkeeper Pierre Smith.

All but three members of Bermuda's World Cup-bound Under-19s leave for the Caribbean tomorrow. Fast bowler Stefan Kelly, specialist batsman Terryn Fray and all rounder Deunte Darrell will all sit exams this week before joining their team-mates in Trinidad on Saturday.

While on tour the young Islanders will play four matches against formidable opposition as well as brush up on the fundamentals of the game under the supervision of national coach Gus Logie and former West Indies team-mates Tony Gray and Larry Gomes.

Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) president Derryck Murray will also lecture the Bermudians during their stay in the former Windies wicketkeeper's homeland.

Also accompanying Bermuda Under-19s to Trinidad are assistant coaches Andre Manders and Clevie Wade as well as Bermuda Cricket Board (BCB) development director Arnold Manders, manager Gerald Bean and Under-19 director Terry Fray.

While in the Caribbean, assistant coach Andre Manders said the main objective will be to determine a final squad of 15 players that will travel to next year's Under 19 World Cup in Malaysia.

"We have a squad of 18 players and so we are going to rotate them to have a good look at everyone so that by the end of the tour we should have chosen our 15 players for World Cup," Manders said.

"Basically we are going to be working on a few things on tour and Logie (national coach) is already down there (Trinidad) getting everything organised."

Manders said during the camp players can expect to be pushed to their limits, with team management having prepared a tour intinary that places specific emphasis on mental sharpness and overall physical conditioning in addition to the fundamentals of the game.

"We are going to be doing a lot of fitness drills and work on the guys' mental game," the former Somerset Cup Match skipper added.

Bermuda play the first of four 50-over matches on Saturday against Connection Wanderers with Manders keen to give his players as much match readiness over the next ten -days as possible.

Next week will see the Islanders face off against Queen's Park Cricket Club, Preysal Sports Club and Powergen Youth Club.

"We are playing against the top teams down there (Trinidad) and this is what we want because we haven't been able to get in any matches here (Bermuda) because of the weather and the football season," he said. "So we are basically going to try and get in some match practice against strong opposition. "

On Trinidad's notoriously slow wickets, Manders reckons his team will make the necessary adjustments and acquit themselves well. "I'm sure the guys will adjust and I have already encouraged them to do the simple things," he added.

Manders also has high expectations for senior team members Kyle Hodsoll, Tamauri Tucker, Kelly, vice-captain Malachi Jones and skipper Rodney Trott who have all already represented their country at the senior level.

"We are definitely going to asking a lot from them," he said. "We are looking for the senior players to help up some of the younger players in the team."

Bermuda Under-19s: Rodney Trott (capt), Malachi Jones (vice-captain), Lamar Richardson, Tamauri Tucker, Chris Douglas, Kyle Hodsoll, Dennico Hollis, Jordan DeSilva, Terryn Fray, Steffan Kelly, Machai Campbell, Greg Maybury Jr, Trev Govia, Pierre Smith, Regino Smith, Deunte Darrell, Kevon Fubler, Maclaren Smith.
