"I feel like my netball career has been a rollercoaster. I got the top of the rollercoaster at the Commonwealth Games and now I'm plunging down that drop."

As captain, Ama Agbeze led England to a historic gold medal at the Commonwealth Games in Australia last year.

Yet 13 months on, her international netball career is in jeopardy after not being selected for Tracey Neville's squad for the World Cup in July.

The 36-year-old is "disappointed" and "frustrated" by her omission, and told BBC Sport it has been difficult to "put on a brave face" since she was told the news.

"I think I'm dealing with it quite well but I'm really disappointed," she said.

"I feel like I'm at peace with the decision, which I never thought I would say because I'm usually a wreck.

"I'm scared that as time goes on there will be a time I break down."

On Thursday, head coach Neville will announce her 12-strong squad for the World Cup, which takes place in Liverpool from 12-21 July.

But Agbeze will be the glaring omission from the team sheet, having been denied the opportunity to return to full fitness in time for the tournament.

She was ruled out of January's Quad Series with a knee problem, and her appearances for Superleague side London Pulse have been limited through persistent injuries. Even when fit, she has struggled for selection.

"I have been injured and I'm not where I need to be," Agbeze said.

"I was told that if I just try to get on court, everyone knows I'm not where I need to be, but we've got the whole of May, the whole of June, and the first two weeks of July to get me to where I need to be.

"It wouldn't be fair for me to go not to my full capacity. I did think I had time but obviously that has been taken out of my hands."


Australia and New Zealand have shared every World Cup title from the first in 1963, with Trinidad and Tobago also winning in a three-way share in 1979 when the tournament was a round-robin format.

Since England's win on the Gold Coast last April, Agbeze says the team "have what it takes" to win the tournament for the first time but its there is "more pressure" on home soil.

"I think us winning the Commonwealth Games not just opened people's eyes to netball in the UK but in of international netball, it's opened every country's eyes to the possibility that anybody could win," she said.

"I think it's the most open World Cup there has ever been, but I do think the girls have what it takes and they have got the belief."

Agbeze was first named England captain in 2016 and has won 100 caps for her country, yet despite her absence, hopes her presence will still be felt during the tournament.

"I feel like almost I've done what I needed to do. I was put in place as captain and I feel like I contributed to changing the culture of the team," she said.

"We've got a gold medal for the first time ever and that's a great thing, so I've done my job and now it has been ed on to someone else.

"I won't be part of it but hopefully I'm still there in spirit."


Agbeze made her England debut in 2001 but its she is in the final years of her international career.

However, she isn't ready to call it a day quite yet and vows her non-selection will not mark the end.

"I'm not getting any younger, I do like playing netball and I've done it pretty much all my life," she said.

"It's difficult because my career has been up and down, and if I had dropped out of the sport the first time I was dropped, I wouldn't be here now. I wouldn't have won a gold medal, I wouldn't have captained my country, I wouldn't have even played for my country. At my first England trial, I wasn't selected, so I wouldn't have got a cap.

"I've had the ups and downs and I've come back many, many times.

"I don't want a de-selection to be the end of my international net.

Why disrespect Psquare and dbanj

Nah, no disrespect bro. Dem dudes u mentioned are legends no doubt, I just feel they belong in a category where tubaba's the leader, so no point calling em. The others in a way represent other genres, schools, faces, where their influence is stronger than others, IMO. Na so I reason am.

Lalasticlala u get mouth like pon pon pon Pon pon pon. Make we celebrate the legendary DAGRIN.

In celebration of the life and times of one of the most influential Nigerian musicians to grace the booth and create legendary works, DAGRIN, we look at five other Artistes from the 2000's till present whose styles and musical influence affected and are still affecting the Nigerian music space.

1. Tuface Idibia: More commonly known nowadays by his other alias, Tubaba, he has been perhaps the most influential Nigeian music artiste over the past two decades. Right from his days as a member of the defunct R&B group, Plantashun Boiz, Tubaba's greatness as a vocalist and performer was never in doubt. His solo career began with the launch of the 2004 album Face to Face which turned unbelievers to disciples and earned mostly positive reviews. Though mired in a couple of controversies over the years, he is still highly respected in the game. The singer has been a reference point of influence, both in style and substance, for even his contemporaries. Artistes like P-Square, D'banj, Timaya, Wizkid, Timi Dakolo, etc, have testified to his influence on their careers, as well as their lives, many pointing out his humility at such great heights a source of reverence for them.

2. Asa: Asa has 3 studio albums to her credit, the first of which was the self-titled 2007 release, Asa, which remains one of the greatest studio albums in Nigerian music history. She emerged on the scene at a time pop music was the mainstay in the contemporary space - largely dominated by men. Not the archetypal diva, the guitar-strumming, dreadlock-wearing, bespectacled, and gruff-sounding soul singer, became a breakthrough for alternative sounds as well as many other female artistes in Nigeria.

3. Rooftop MCs: True, they weren't the face of alternative music, neither did they wield earth shaking influence as musicians, but no other artiste or group has managed such controversial efforts at paradigm shifting, especially in the Nigerian gospel music scene, as these dudes. Their first album efforts, Shock Therapy, a 2003 rebellious mix of rap, rock and Afrocentric vibes laced with gospel undertones, that commanded attention, worry and discourse from conservatives, earned them critical acclaim and a whole lot of fans - Christian and non-christian. Their unrelenting efforts finally culminated in the 2007 Cobhams Asuquo produced Lagimo, perhaps their greatest work till date. Their ability to cater to a wide range of audience, stir up critical discussions in Nigerian christian circles and gospel music sect, and even among lovers of rap and rock music genres definitely earns them a place on the influential list.

4. Mode Nine: The rap game in nigeria could easily be described 'before and after Mode 9'. The 7-time Lyricist on the Roll award winner at the Headies burst onto a rap scene which was relatively unpopular and needing a next level push, as most of the rap songs aired on radio where foreign, save a little dose of Trybesmen, Ruggedman, Six foot plus and a few others, He came bearing metaphors and slinging sharp punchlines with reckless abandon, soon becoming the focal point for the rap genre in Nigeria which subsequently began to witness a surging number of skilled entrants. His formidable style of hip hop which stays rooted in the origins of flow is blessed with 7 studio albums and 5 mixtapes. Modo!

5. Wizkid: Since the release of the 2010 hit single Holla at your boy, the kid has been dropping mega-hit after mega-hit. He has collaborated with almost every big name in the game and has raked in tons of endorsements in the last couple of years. He oozes swag that young, aspiring and even established Artistes wish they owned. With 3 highly successful and critically acclaimed studio albums, his entry into the game saw a major influx of young cats who changed the dynamics of the industry and brought a new vibe which heavily influenced Nigerian pop culture. A testament to the strength of his brand is his Starboy jerseys, a collaboration with Nike, which went live on September 10, 2018 and sold out in 10 mins.
