Eight members of Team Bath’s Netball Superleague squad will represent England in forthcoming fixtures against world number two team New Zealand, as well as Jamaica and Wales.

England have two teams playing in the series, which runs from 17 to 21 January with games at Wembley Arena and the Copper Box Arena in London.

Four members of Team Bath’s 2014 Superleague squad – Rosie Allison, Pamela Cookey, Stacey Francis and Serena Guthrie - feature in the senior England squad for the series.

Cookey captains a squad that also includes former Team Bath players Ama Agbeze, Eboni Beckford Chambers, Kadeen Corbin, Sasha Corbin and Geva Mentor.

The England A team, coached by Team Bath head coach Jess Thirlby, also features a quartet of Team Bath Superleague players.

Sixteen-year-old defender Summer Artman is called into the England A squad for the first time. She joins Shaunagh Craig, Yasmin Parsons and Mia Ritchie in the squad. Another Team Bath player, Scarlett Williams, is reserve.

Summer, who is the daughter of former HTV presenter Sherrie Eugene and is currently studying for A Levels at King Edward’s School in Bath, said:

England seniors will play New Zealand and Jamaica in the Tri-series, with England A also facing New Zealand, Jamaica, who are ranked four in the world, and Wales.
