Indoor netball, known as Nets, is a fast and furious form of netball that while played under the same rules as the usual form of the sport, takes place in a netted court.

Faye flies out on Monday, September 28 for two tournaments, six and seven-a-side, with the tournaments taking place from October 4 to 10.

England will also be represented in Brisbane by a mixed under 18s side and both women’s and mixed under 30s sides.
