Overseas students Stephen Outerbridge and Jekon Edness are implementing the lessons they have learned from University cricket and transferring them onto the international arena.

Both players, who starred for Bermuda during the tour of Canada, attend the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff, which is the training ground for English talent.

Left-handed batsman Outerbrdige insisted his extra knowledge and experience of the longer version of the game is benefitting both him and the Bermuda national team.

"Me and Jekon have a bit of experience of the four-day game as we're both at school in England and are used to playing three-day matches," said the Bailey's Bay opener.

"We just focused on putting in the same application into the Intercontinental Cup match as we do when we play for our school.

"But the young guys like Oronde (Bascome), Chris (Foggo) and George (O'Brien), who haven't played much three of four-day cricket did extremely well.

"People thought we were facing an uphill battle taking a young side, but the coach always told us to have belief. If you have belief and have faith, things will work out.

"As everyone can see from the results, we were successful even though some people doubted us."

Somerset wicket-keeper/batsman Edness admitted the euphoria experienced from their victories in Canada was a unique experience for the team and he hoped to replicate that joy when they face Scotland.

"This is the first time a tour has finished like this and if we keep working hard more positive results will come our way," he said.

"We had a really successful tour and must look to build upon it.

"The wicket played a little low with a bit of turn, so it was a bit difficult wicket-keeping on it, but I've got experience of playing on various wickets in England, so I was prepared."

All-rounder Stefan Kelly, who faced Canada in the Intercontinental Cup, is also based at University in England and will be following in the footsteps of Outerbridge and Edness by attending a University Centre of Cricketing Excellence (UCCE) at the end of the summer.
