Jamaica has stitched together a netball team to take on the Silver Ferns this evening in Auckland.

Jamaica's coach Connie Francis told Checkpoint on Tuesday they needed to find three more players to meet the requirements for it to be a test.

Francis had already secured the help of Carla Borrego, who played for them at the World Cup 19 years ago.

On Wednesday Francis herself joined the squad. Having debuted for Jamaica in 1985, Connie Francis has named herself in the side as a player-coach tonight.

She's joined by Romelda Aitken, who had a baby five weeks ago, and has been flown in from Australia.
