The youngest player of the Fiji Pearls is excited to face the Silver Ferns for the first time in her netball career.

17-year-old Kelera Nawai said she is thrilled to have been called up to join the national team.

Nawai is currently studying and playing netball in New Zealand under a scholarship which was awarded to her late last year.

The Silver Ferns will arrive in the country tomorrow.

They will meet the Fiji Pearls in the opening match of the Oceania Netball Tri-Series at 6.40pm next Monday at the Vodafone Arena.

Tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for children under 12.
