BY JENNY SINCLAIR
A wave of excitement and a whiff of controversy has surrounded the announcement of the 2018/19 Australian Diamonds squad. A blend of fresh and familiar faces will carry Australian hopes into next year’s Netball World Cup, while some notable retirements and omissions have sparked social media chatter. The three selectors – Diamonds coach Lisa Alexander, Anne Sargeant and Michelle Wilkins – have chosen a strong group of players that they believe fits their international needs. Alexander said, “The squad has to be modern, contemporary, up to date in keeping ahead of trends in netball, while recognising current form. All those factors put together might seem contentious in selection but we’re trying to do the best job we can.”
