Cash-strapped Netball Australia has delayed the rollout of new uniforms featuring the logo of mining giant Hancock Prospecting after a former captain criticised the company’s head, billionaire Gina Rinehart, who has been sceptical of the climate change movement.

The women’s team have reportedly opted out of wearing the new jersey and wants more time to understand the situation in response to former team captain Sharni Norder’s criticisms.
