The 33-year-old has indicated to the national selectors she will be available to play for the Silver Ferns for this year and beyond.
George has not played for the Ferns since their disastrous UK tour in May 2007, later making a shock withdrawal from the team just months out from the world championships after opting to move to Australia to be with former partner Sione Faumuina.
But the Northern Mystics captain said now she was properly settled back in Auckland and felt she could wholly commit to the national programme, she was keen for the chance to add to her 59 test caps.
"I'm actually in the country this time, so that helps, and my personal life is all sorted and I'm just really enjoying my netball at the moment," George said.
"I think also the big thing for me was whether I was good enough as well, because you have to be playing at your best if you want to play for the Ferns."
Silver Ferns coach Ruth Aitken said last week players wishing to be considered for this year's squad would need to be available for the national team for the next two years, given there were two pinnacle events just around the corner.
George is happy to abide by the condition.
She said she was excited about the Ferns calendar over the next couple of years, which includes the inaugural world series in England later this year, the Commonwealth Games in 2010 and the 2011 world championships.
"I've made a commitment of two years for the team, but obviously, I have to be selected in the team first and go through the whole selection process.
But if I do make the team then I'm prepared to give it my all for two years," the dynamic centre said.
"I'm really excited about the challenges over the next two years, especially with the Commonwealth Games and the world champs.
It definitely gives you that fire in your belly."
While George is quick to point out there is no guarantee she will be selected in the Ferns, the veteran midcourter has been in impressive form for the Mystics and is still considered one of the best centres in the game.
Her chances of re-selection appear to hinge on how willing Aitken is to forgive and forget after George's abrupt departure in 2007.
George knows not everyone will approve if she is given another chance.
"Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but when I made the decision [to withdraw] a couple of years ago, that's where I was at that point in my life.
Now I'm in a much better place and I feel I can commit to the Ferns and hopefully the selectors will give me that chance."
With George indicating she wishes to be around until at least the next world championships in 2011, the Mystics are hoping the Silver Ferns' gain will also be their gain.
The Auckland franchise is in negotiations to secure George for a further two seasons.
The Silver Ferns squad will be named in July after the conclusion of the ANZ Championship, with the test side to be selected following trials in August.
