The selection of impressive venues such as Leeds’ revamped Headingley and the new Community Stadium in York is an indication of the status that the women’s tournament is expected to aspire to.
Likewise the wheelchair venues, which include the Copper Box Arena in London – a big part of the 2012 Paralympics – and the Liverpool Arena, where last year’s Netball World Cup enjoyed big crowds.
“We’re really excited to start the women’s tournament off against Brazil, we’ve high aspirations for the number of people inside Headingley,” Dutton added.
“If we can get the tournament off to the best possible start then we’ve got England v Canada at Liverpool’s Anfield in week two.
“Canada, from what we saw in 2017, looked a really competitive team, Brazil could be anything but certainly bring excitement and in the other group we’ve got Australia and New Zealand.
“We’ve specifically looked at double-headers in the women’s and wheelchair games, so people can come along and see two high-quality games.
“Those tournaments won’t take second stage at all.”
