Centre Vaiti Waqatabu will captain the Pearls with Unaisi Rauluni as vice-captain.
Sereana Maragi makes her return to the netball scene after a stint with Lautoka Rugby in the Marama Championship.

Matila Vocea who just played for Fiji in the FIBA Melanesian Basketball Championship is also in the squad as well as Naviniya Sivo.
