Queensland based netball rep Simone Nalatu is confident that she will be named in the final 18-member squad to prepare for the World Championships in Singapore.

Nalatu said that to be in the team will not be easy with the other 39 girls also vying for a place and she will have to give her best to be considered.

She added that playing in the national team in the Cook Islands last year has given her a lot of confidence going into the trials today.
