Netball career

Gael Nagaiya (née Robinson) played netball for Auckland and was also selected for the New Zealand Under-21 team. In 1992, she was selected for the Silver Ferns, the national netball team, making her debut against England during the team's tour to the United Kingdom at the end of that year. She played one other test match on the tour but those were her only matches for New Zealand.[1] After a coaching and administrative role in netball clubs, Nagaiya was appointed as a selector for the Silver Ferns in 2011. In 2012 she became an emerging talent selector and in 2013 she was made the convenor of the national netball selectors, a position she held until 2018.[2] [3] [4]
