Katrina Grant has been named the new Silver Ferns captain for the upcoming Quad Series.
Grant, 29, will become the 26th player to captain the Silver Ferns, with Laura Langman named vice-captain.
"Every time I play for my country it is an absolute honour, and to now be given the opportunity to lead the Silver Ferns as their captain alongside Laura – I’m still a little lost for words," Grant said.
"It is an amazing feeling and one I’m not sure will sink in until we stand arm-in-arm for the first Test to sing the national anthem."
Grant and Langman will lead a new-look Silver Ferns team into the Netball Quad Series, featuring three debutants; Storm Purvis, Te Paea Selby-Rickit and Maia Wilson.
The New Zealanders will face England, South Africa and Australia in next week's Quad Series before tussling with Jamaica in the Taini Jamison Trophy
