The Silver Ferns' 14-strong squad has been named to contest the 2025 Constellation Cup against Australia’s Diamonds.
The series will be played across four Tests in October, with two matches in Australia and two on home soil in New Zealand.
Amelia Walmsley steps into the senior ranks fresh off a standout campaign with the New Zealand U21 side at the Netball World Youth Cup in Gibraltar.
Silver Ferns interim head coach Yvette McCausland-Durie welcomed the mix of experience and emerging players in the squad.
“The Constellation Cup is always a fiercely contested series and we’ve selected a squad capable of rising to the challenge. We believe this group can push the Diamonds hard across all four Tests,” McCausland-Durie said.

“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.”
The Silver Ferns will assemble tomorrow for a training camp 7-11 October before travelling to Australia for the series opener in Melbourne on 17 October.
