Malawi look to stars for NWC2023 glory

Malawi have selected their 12 athletes to represent at this year’s Netball World Cup.

Amongst the players selected are two Netball Super League (NSL) superstars, Strathclyde Sirens’ Towera Vinkhumbo and Team Bath’s Caroline Mtukule.

Vinkhumbo had a standout season for her Sirens side, finishing top of the leaderboard for the most intercepts, with a staggering 75 being taken.

She also recorded the most number of turnovers in the 2023 season; a huge 115 to her name. Just one more than Celtic Dragons Goal Keeper, Shaquanda Greene-Noel.

Mtukule was a new signing for Team Bath and played her first season in the Netball Super League in 2023.

A key player in their defensive end, she came up against some of the biggest names in the NSL with no fear. She will definitely be one to watch at the Netball World Cup.
