McCausland-Durie also highlighted the importance of the wider leadership group, which includes Burger, Jackson, Kate Heffernan, Grace Nweke and now Elisapeta Toeava, who has been added to the group for the upcoming series.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeadership within the Silver Ferns is shared, and this group plays a crucial role in driving standards and ensuring alignment across the team,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really exciting to have Elisapeta join the leadership team. She brings a unique energy and perspective, and her voice will add real value to the group alongside Karin, Kelly, Kate and Grace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burger, Jackson, Heffernan and Nweke were all given a chance to captain or vice captain the side during the Taini Jamison Trophy sweep<\/a> of South Africa, after which Nweke made a plea for Dame Noeline Taurua\u2019s return. However days later Netball New Zealand confirmed Taurua would be sidelined for the remainder of the 2025 season<\/a> following failed attempts at mediation.<\/p>\n
