Singapore begin their Nations Cup title defence against Canada at OCBC Arena on Sept 1.
SINGAPORE – It is a miracle that Toh Kai Wei is still playing netball after her medical mishaps and illness.
She developed asthma after that, but was able to play badminton, basketball and run short distances before the condition stopped when she was 12. With 84 caps, she is the national team’s most experienced player going into the Sept 1-7 Nations Cup and is revelling in her role as co-captain with fellow 28-year-old Khor Ting Fan, The duo stepped up after the retirement of Charmaine Soh and Aqilah Andin in the past year.
On the court, she has also had to make adjustments, shifting from goal attack to wing attack following the retirement of Kimberly Lim last December. But her club coach Goh Seck Tuck, who heads Deloitte Netball Super League team Sneakers Stingrays, has been encouraging. Despite the raft of retirements, she feels the fast-improving national team can achieve more glory if they remain hungry and work hard as a unit.
