Netball New Zealand's updated the eligibility criteria for the Silver Ferns. 

Overseas-based players can now be considered for national selection through a formal exemption process. 

The updated criteria will be implemented ahead of the upcoming international season, allowing Grace Nweke to be available if she applies. 

Board chair Matt Whineray told Mike Hosking they had to balance everyone’s interests – players' aspirations and development, the strength of the domestic competition, and the needs of the high-performance system and Silver Ferns. 

He says they’re pleased to have a process in place now to balance the different needs and to understand how everything fits together.
