Netball Super League | NSL stars set to light up Fast 5 Netball World Series

London Pulse’s Zara Everitt will lead England on Saturday morning, as the Fast 5 Netball World Series returns.

Defending champions New Zealand are hosting the weekend-long tournament that sees the top six teams in the world battle it out for one last piece of silverware in 2022.

The Netball Super League provides all ten of the Vitality Roses squad who will look to reclaim the trophy they won in 2011 and 2017.

Lois Pearson, Paige Reed and Alicia Scholes are all in line for England debuts and Roses fans will need their alarm clocks at the ready with England’s first game starting at 1am on Saturday.

Ones to watch

Everitt and her Pulse teammate Ellie Rattu are the two players to have already donned the famous red dress at senior level, both earning their first caps in England’s series whitewash of Uganda in October.
