Bloemfontein – Netball South Africa chose a strong and balanced team for the three-Test series against England later this month.
Head coach of the South African team, Elize Kotze, said she was very happy with the team, although three experienced players Erin Burger, Zanele Mdodana and Chrisna Botha were unavailable for selection because of injury.
Kotze said the series against the team ranked third in the world would be a big challenge for the Proteas, but they are ready to meet the challenge.
The three Tests will be played in Bath on September 22, Wembley on September 25 and Worcester on September 27.
National Netball Team – Melissa Myburgh, Lindie Lombard, Yolandi Stone, Maryka Holtzhausen (Captain), Bongiwe Msomi (Captain), Simnikiwe Mdaka, Nokuthula Qegu, Karla Mostert, Precious Mthembu, Adele Niemand, Vanes-Mari du Toit, Nontle Gwavu.
