England Netball coach Tracey Neville has confirmed the 12-player squad to play world champions Australia in January's three Test Series.
World Cup and Commonwealth gold medalists the Australian Diamonds face England in Liverpool at the Echo Arena on January 20th, then they'll move to London and the Copper Box Arena on January 22nd and 24th. All three games will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Several members of the 2015 England World Cup squad are taking a break from international netball and therefore haven't been named in the squad for the Australia Series.
Those players, including Stacey Francis, Serena Guthrie, Joanne Harten and Geva Mentor are taking additional time to recuperate ahead of the new domestic season.
Limited tickets remain for the fixture at the Echo Arena in Liverpool are available via Sky Tickets.
