National coach Jenny van Dyk shared her excitement about the upcoming tour.
“We learned so much during our tour of Jamaica and England earlier this year, and we need to step up our game.
“I am happy with our core group of players but we will keep an eye on the Telkom Netball League to identify any talent that we may have overlooked.”
The Silver Ferns, ranked second in the world, will compete with the fifth-ranked SPAR Proteas for the Taino Jamison Trophy at Auckland, Napier, and Invercargill on September 21, 24 and 28.
Coaches Zanele Mdodana and Dame Noeline Taura shared how they look forward to the series.
