The National Netball team will have to be in the top 11 in the World Netball Rankings, to qualify for the 2010 Commonwealth Games.

IFNA has confirmed that the qualification criteria for the 2010 Commonwealth games will now be based on the countries ranking.

Twelve teams will compete in the Games but as India is the host country they are automatically granted a place. This means it will be the first 11 ranked teams that will get the opportunity of competing in the 2010 Commonwealth games.

The cut-off date when IFNA will advice the Commonwealth Games federation of the teams competing will be the 1st of October 2009.

Fiji is currently ranked 8th in the World.
