Origin Australian Diamonds defender Joanna Weston has been ruled out of the upcoming Netball Quad Series with a calf injury.
The Origin Australian Diamonds will take on South Africa, England and New Zealand in the Netball Quad Series in Cape Town from January 22 – 26, 2023.
Sunshine Coast Lightning defender Tara Hinchliffe has been elevated to the Diamonds 2022/23 squad and included in the tour squad of 14 athletes.
“Joanna has a minor calf injury and will continue her rehab back in Melbourne,” said Origin Australian Diamonds head coach Stacey Marinkovich.
“Tara has been included in the Netball Quad Series tour squad after taking opportunities with the Australian Development Squad and last year’s Fast5 Netball World Series team. Tara is a versatile defender, and she will add coverage across the goal keeper and goal defence positions.”
