Diamonds gagged by Netball Australia amid Hancock Prospecting sponsor saga

• Players not to speak on subject until media call on Tuesday
• Speculation that players are taking stand against new sponsor

The Diamonds have closed ranks after a week of on-court defeats and off-court controversy, heading home on the brink of losing a second-straight Constellation Cup for the first time.

Stacey Marinkovich's side will swap New Zealand for Melbourne on Monday, snapping a long run away from home. The Australians will play their first home Tests since 2019 when the Constellation Cup concludes in Melbourne on Wednesday and the Gold Coast on Sunday.
