The Silver Ferns squad to face the Australian Diamonds over the four-test Constellation Cup has been named with only one change at the attacking end of the court.
Amelia Walmsley steps into the senior ranks fresh off a standout campaign as captain of the New Zealand U-21 side at the Netball World Youth Cup in Gibraltar.

Filda Vui is the player who misses out for Walmsley.
Dame Noeline Taurua is still benched for the series.
Silver Ferns Interim head coach Yvette McCausland-Durie welcomed the mix of experience and emerging players in the squad.

“Bringing Amelia into the group is a real statement about our confidence in her development. Her performances in Gibraltar showed she can handle pressure on the global stage, and we look forward to seeing her back in the Silver Ferns dress.”
