Fiji's Netball coach - Vilimaina Davu has named a powerful team to play at the World Championships in New Zealand starting next month.

The former Silver Fern confirmed ten players and will add two more to the side from the non traveling list this week.

Three Australian based players, Simone Nalatu, Talei Bari and Majorie Parr have forced their way into the team.

The surprise ommission is New Zealand based shooters Susana Tagicakibau and Sala Hide.

Davu says she has gone for experience, with four players having played at previous world champs while three others have had a taste of top level netball at either the Commonwealth Games or at the Pacific Games level.
