Gina Crampton, Jane Watson and Te Paea Selby-Rickit all made impressive debuts this year, joining Shannon Francois in the squad.
Midcourter Sam Sinclair and defender Kelly Jury were the two newcomers to the side, while Laura Langman's name was predictably missing after leaving the country to play in the Australian national league.
Coach Janine Southby was happy with the strides the team had made this year.
“We have introduced a number of new players to the Silver Ferns environment over the last 12 months – five players made their Silver Ferns debut in 2016 which is an indication of the depth we are building in all areas of the court,” Southby said.
“Sam and Kelly were standouts during the FAST5 Ferns victory at the Fast5 Netball World Series and with the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games fast approaching and a big international season ahead of us, now is the time to give them some experience at that next level.”
Ameliaranne Ekenasio was unavailable for selection due to the expectation of the birth of her first child.
