    Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua's offering gentle encouragement to Ameliaranne Ekenasio as the New Zealand captain mulls her future in international netball


    The national team won't feature the 34-year-old goal attack this year as she takes time away to mentally and physically refresh.

    Taurua's said she'll welcome the 79-test veteran back when she's ready - a statement that's been greeted by Ekenasio with humour and appreciation.
