World Cup 2023: Final race on for spots in Diamonds squad

The final race is on for spots in Australia's World Cup squad, with a host of key roles up for grabs. See the frontrunners in our latest Diamonds tracker. 

Just a fortnight out from final Diamonds selections, eight players are likely to have already sealed their seats on the plane to South Africa for the World Cup.

But selectors face some enormously difficult conversations as they finalise positions in their shooting, midcourt and defensive groups as well as choose the three reserves that could be pivotal this tournament.

With some players turning out in different positions for their Super Netball clubs from the ones they would traditionally occupy for the Diamonds, how much will domestic form count for selectors?

Can Sophie Garbin and Ash Brazill overcome quiet Super Netball campaigns and the turmoil of the Magpies’ collapse to win a gold dress or will newcomers Donnell Wallam and Amy Parmenter overtake them?

And how to selectors finalise their midcourt positions with Australia sporting the greatest depth in world netball across the key playmaking positions?

Here’s how the 19 women in line to compete in South Africa are travelling as the selection race goes down to the wire.

WHO MAKES THE SQUAD WHO IS YET TO IMPRESS?
