Interim Silver Ferns coach Yvette McCausland-Durie has named a squad of 14 ahead of Sunday's first test of their home series against South Africa

The uncapped quartet of shooters Martina Salmon and Filda Vui and defenders Catherine Hall and Carys Stythe have made the cut.

Those to miss out from the wider group of 18 named last month are Kate Burley, Tayla Earle and Saviour Tui, while Amelia Walmsley will be with the New Zealand Under-21 team at the World Youth Cup.

A four-player leadership group consists of goal shoot Grace Nweke , defenders Kelly Jackson and Karin Burger and midcourter Kate Heffernan .

The 14 players will be trimmed to a match-day 12, 24 hours before the opening match.
