Proud to announce Ameliaranne Ekenasio has been named captain of the Silver Ferns, joined by vice captains Jane Watson and Gina Crampton in a new-look leadership group for the Vitality Netball Nations Cup which starts against England in Nottingham on Monday (NZT).
Im not surprised the team is looking long term regarding captaincy. Ekenasio is an absolute star of the team. I just hope it doesn’t add extra pressure on her shooting game.
This is a strong leadership team. The three are all brilliant role models on and off the court. Though, it will be interesting to see how the Ferns handle leadership when Langman and Grant return to the fold.
