Versatile Proteas squad named

The Mercury

|

August 12, 2025

NATIONAL netball team coach Jenny van Dyk feels that the versatile players chosen to travel to New Zealand and Australia, to take on the two top-ranked sides in the world in September and October, will compensate for a lack of depth in some key positions.

- ROWAN CALLAGHAN

Van Dyk named the Spar Proteas squad for the daunting clashes on Monday.

With the likes of Boitumelo Mahloko out injured and Syntiche Kabuya unavailable for selection, defenders Entle Futshane, Nozipho Ntshangase, and Juanita van Tonder join the squad for the first time after impressing in this season's Telkom Netball League.

Veteran defender Karla Pretorius also remains unavailable for selection this season, but the team will welcome back another experienced campaigner in Shadine van der Merwe, who has been playing in England's Netball Super League.
