Sunshine Girls coach Sasher-Gaye Henry-Wright admits it was a tough call when they selecting the squad for the upcoming Horizon Netball Series against England’s Vitality Roses next month.
World top shooter Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard and the world class defender Shamera Sterling – Humphrey who were both out of the national team due to maternity leave will both make their return to the senior Sunshine Girls team.
The other members of the squad include: Gezelle Allison, Azara Wilmot, Shanice Beckford, Latanya Wilson, Jodi-Ann Ward, Kadie-Ann Dehaney, Crystal Plummer, Nicole Dixon-Rochester, Abigail Sutherland and Brie Grierson.
The non-travelling reserves are Rhea Dixon, Kimone Shaw and Adean Thomas.
Jamaica will be seeking to reclaim the Rhone-Hornsby trophy, having won the inaugural series in 2024 before England took it in 2025 when only the England leg was played due to the effects of Hurricane Melissa on the island.
The London leg will be played at the Copper Box Arena on Saturday November 21 and 22 while the Kingston leg will be played on December 5 and 6 at the National Indoor Sports Center.
