The three games in the Spar Challenge series will be held at Ellis Park on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. The three-match Test series against England starting at Ellis Park on Thursday will play a key role in the national netball team’s preparation for the Commonwealth Games later this year, according to Proteas coach Jenny van Dyk. “We’ve got new people who have new things to give, so we’re getting into this series unpredictable and that’s what I love about this team. “Every person who is in this squad is ready to perform for us going into this series. With England we never really want to step back, and we are going to go in hard.
