England confirm Jamaica series as part of World Cup preparations
The Vitality Roses will welcome Jamaica’s Sunshine Girls to England in the New Year for a three-match Test series as they continue their preparations for the Netball World Cup in South Africa next summer.
The series will get underway in Manchester at the AO Arena on Wednesday 11 January before the teams travel down to the Copper Box Arena in London for back-to-back games on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 January.
Jamaica are currently ranked third in the world, one place above England, after winning a historic silver medal at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
This will be the first time the Vitality Roses have played in the North West of England since the 2019 Vitality Netball World Cup in Liverpool. It will also be the team’s first international match in Manchester since November 2016 when they also played Jamaica.
