Fiji Pearls defender Verenaisi Sawana still cannot believe that she is among the top netball players in the country preparing to play South Africa in the Digicel Punjas Fiji South Africa Test Series.
Sawana was part of the Baby Pearls team that finished fourth in the World Youth Netball Cup in Botswana.
The 21-year-old who hails from Bau, Tailevu says that she is aiming to make her debut in front of her family and friends on Wednesday or Friday.
Coach Vicky Wilson has praised the five Under 21 players for the effort they have shown in training and adjusting to the higher intensity of senior international netball.
The Fiji Pearls final 12 players will be named tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the Fiji Sports Commission has given $56,000 to the Fiji Pearls to host South Africa this week.
The South Africa Netball team arrived in the country last night.
The Fiji Pearls will take on South Africa at 6.30pm Wednesday and Friday at the Vodafone Arena.
