The New South Wales Swifts defender Rebecca Bully comes into the Australian netball squad for the Test against the Silver Ferns here next month.

But captain Sharelle McMahon has been left out of the side, to give her time to recover from a knee operation.

Coach Norma Plummer says it wasn't easy to persuade McMahon to take a break.
