New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has called out sponsors of the Silver Ferns to consider why the national side did not get a World Cup‑winning bonus.

The Silver Ferns claimed a thrilling 52‑51 win over defending champions the Australian Diamonds in the Netball World Cup grand final on Monday morning.

But hours after captain Laura Langman lifted the World Cup, it was revealed that the Silver Ferns would not be receiving any prize money from the event.

Pointing out the invaluable exposure that major sponsors like ANZ and M.Y.O.B received from the Ferns' efforts.

Arden says a payout should be considered.
