Bermuda could possibly go with as many as three changes to their line-up ahead of their Intercontinental Cup match with current champions Ireland that gets underway today at Clontarf Cricket Club in Dublin.

Under-19 national squad members Malachi Jones, Rodney Trott and Stefan Kelly all arrived in Ireland yesterday and, if given the nod, could find themselves in the heat of battle - coach Gus Logie indicated following the islanders' two-hour practice session under clear skies in Dublin yesterday morning.

"It would be nice to have a few youngsters in the field as this would definitely add a new dimension to the team," he said. "And if they are up to the battle then we will certainly give them a go."

All three youngsters come highly recommended and best suited to the longer version of the game with all-round abilities.

Jones and Kelly, who both travelled with the senior national squad to the World Cup in the Caribbean earlier this year, add venom to Bermuda's new ball attack with Under-19 captain Trott largely tipped to share spin bowling duties with the likes of Dwayne Leverock and skipper Irving Romaine.

Jekon Edness should resume duties behind the stumps and could be reunited with Stephen Outerbridge at the top of the batting order with stand-in opener Dwight Basden having returned home earlier in the week.

Quickie George O'Brien Jr. will undoubtedly look to extend his impressive form with the new ball of late, as will medium pacer Ryan Steede who has so far been one of his team's most economical bowlers on tour.

"It would be good if all of the players can fire at the same time. Our main concern is obviously the batting as the bowling has pretty much held its own. We just need a few guys to pick themselves up, dust off and start performing," Logie continued.

"We know the quality of the Irish team, they are one of the Goliaths of the Associate teams while we are the Davids. So at the end of the day we have nothing to lose and everything to gain."

Ireland, meanwhile, have made only one change to their team that drew with Scotland in Stormont earlier this month with Dominic Boyce in for Middlesex batsman Eoin Morgan.

The Irish piled up a massive 473 for seven in reply to Scotland's first innings total of 314 all out with middle order bats Andre Botha (186) and Alex Cusack (130) establishing a record sixth-wicket partnership of 234 runs that surpassed the previous best of 201 that had stood for 111 years.

In wicketkeeper/batsman Niall O'Brien, the Irish have another player with English county experience. O'Brien is currently with Northampshire following a playing stint at Kent.

In contrast, Bermuda misfired with the bat before eventually crashing to an innings and 44 run defeat against the Netherlands in their previous Intercontinental Cup match in Amstelveen, Holland.

"We were a little down collectively as a team and also individually over our previous performances. But I think the guys are strong enough to get themselves back into it mentally," skipper Romaine said.

"We are in deep water and so the guys will have to stick with it and top their ability, particularly with the bat. The batting may be shallow in terms of maturity but the talent is definitely there with guys like Stephen (Outerbridge) and Jekon (Edness). But they have to start producing as well as the senior players in the team.

"But we are definitely going to have a stronger seam attack and a genuine off spinner in Rodney Trott. But it's now all up to the batsmen to score runs to give our bowlers more to work with."
