Jamaica’s coach Connie Francis is expected to make changes to the starting team when the Sunshine Girls face England in the final match of their two-test National Commercial Bank Sunshine Series this evening at 7.30 p.m.
The game will take place at the National Indoor Sports Centre.
The Jamaicans are trailing 1-0 and will be trying to avoid a third straight sweep after losing 3-0 to world number one Australia and 2-0 to world number two New Zealand Down Under last month.
It means that the Sunshine Girls have lost six straight games after they were whipped 53-42 by England in the opening test on Wednesday night.
Francis says she will be relying on the young players to pull Jamaica level citing that the experienced players let the team down on Wednesday.
The teams are using the series as preparation for the Commonwealth Games in India next month.
