Bermuda are to host Namibia for their next Intercontinental Cup fixture on September 3 at their National Sports Centre (NSC).
It will be the second occasion this year that the NSC hosts a game, following several years when it was deemed unfit owing to the poor soil. Such concerns are now a distant memory and Reginald Pearman, the president of the Bermuda Cricket Board, is excited at the prospect of the touring Namibians.
"Once again I am pleased to be able to confirm that Bermuda have the opportunity to play at home for the second time this year. The ICC approval for Bermuda to host the Namibia game, confirms that the National Sports Centre, with the hard work of its groundsmen, have prepared and maintained the wicket to the international standards required," he said.
"Bermuda faces a tough team and I encourage all of Bermuda to come out to support your country."
Namibia share the top spot of the Intercontinental Cup table with Scotland, on 82 points, but have two games in hand.
