Anna Harrison and Maria Tutaia have been given additional time to recover from their respective injuries. They are expected to be available for selection for October’s New World Netball Series for the Constellation Cup.
The three-Test Series against world number four, the Jamaican Sunshine Girls commences on Sunday at Nelson’s Trafalgar Centre (sold out), then moves to Palmerston North on September 14, before the final Test in Rotorua on September 17.
