Netball Australia CEO Kelly Ryan was excited to have international netball back on the court for fans to enjoy.
“This is important preparation for the Origin Australian Diamonds ahead of the 2022 Commonwealth Games and we thank both Netball England and Netball New Zealand for their commitment and efforts to make it possible,” Ryan said.
“It will be particularly exciting to watch a number of the Australian-based Roses, who play in the Suncorp Super Netball League, to go up against their teammates at the international level.
“We are working closely with state and federal governments to ensure these series go ahead in a covid-safe way and we will provide an update on dates, venues and ticketing as soon as possible.”
