Announced at the Australian Team Reception on Monday night, multiple Commonwealth Games gold medallist and four-time Olympian, Kookaburras captain Mark Knowles will carry the Australian flag, with five-times Commonwealth Games lawn bowler Karen Murphy to recite the Athletes’ Oath.
Alexander will recite the Oath on behalf of all coaches across the Commonwealth, and was humbled to be given the responsibility.
“It is quite simply an honour to represent all coaches in this manner,” said Alexander.
“I am delighted to also be able to represent all of our hard-working netball coaches around Australia, from NetSetGO right through to our Super Netball teams."

The Ceremony will showcase our culture, colour, unity and diversity and will epitomise the spirit of our great nation.
