CSB - Matt Whineray - Netball NZ Board Chair

The Netball New Zealand (NNZ) board has voted to update the eligibility criteria for national selection, allowing players based overseas to be available for the Silver Ferns.

After reviewing the criteria, NNZ has introduced a formal exemption process to adapt to the changing face of the sport.

Players presently choose between higher-paying opportunities overseas, or remaining in Aotearoa – where they can be eligible for the Silver Ferns.
