The Australian Diamonds have named their squad for netball's Constellation Cup series against the Silver Ferns starting next week in Melbourne

The announcement has been delayed due to a stand-off between Netball Australia and the players' association over a new collective agreement.

A similar issue occurred prior to the World Cup - which Australia won.

The bulk of the squad from their Cape Town triumph return for the four-test series.

Sophie Dwyer and Kate Moloney are in for Steph Wood and Ash Brazill who have stepped away from international duties.
