The Silver Ferns will benefit from some stability on their northern tour.
Interim coach Yvette McCausland-Durie has named the same 14-strong squad that pushed the Australian Diamonds through the Constellation Cup.
The Silver Ferns will play five tests in the United Kingdom, including two tests against Scotland, the first of which is on Sunday.
They then head to England to play three tests against the Roses in London and Manchester.
The Southern Steel are well represented in the black dress for the tour, with Kate and Georgia Heffernan, Kimiora Poi and Carys Stythe all punching their tickets.
Georgia Heffernan has made a nice impact at goal attack as she looks to build on the start of her test career, while sister Kate has been influential at centre and wing defence.
Poi has made good cameos in the midcourt, and Stythe will be in line for her debut should she get named in the game-day squad.
McCausland-Durie said the tour was an important step in their future development, including the chance to scope out where netball will be played at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year.
"This group has made significant progress across the past few months, and the northern tour gives us another opportunity to test that growth against quality opposition," McCausland-Durie said.
"We’ve seen individuals really step up in recent series.
"There’s a great sense of momentum in this group. Each athlete has shown real commitment to improving, and we’re excited to see how that translates on court against Scotland and England."
