The New Zealand netball coach Ruth Aitken says with the Commonwealth Games looming she's unwilling to risk further injury to the Silver Ferns shooter Daneka Wipiti .

A calf strain has ruled Wipiiti out of tomorrow night's first test against Jamaica and her replacement is Canterbury's Anna Thompson.

Wipiiti will be assessed on Thursday to see if she's fit for Saturday's second test in Napier.
