Australian Netball Diamonds
Bassett made her international debut in 2008 where she played for one quarter. In 2011, Caitlin Bassett was selected for the Diamonds squad heading for World Netball Championships and the 2011 Holden Netball Test Series. During the World Netball Test series, Bassett missed only 4 goals throughout the whole tournament (151/155). She played a pivotal role in scoring the goal winning point to claim the Diamonds Gold. In the Holden Netball Test Series 2011, Bassett once again was the game saver. In all three test series against New Zealand, Bassett started off on the bench and was brought on at half time for the first and third Tests. She proved to be a match saver and helped the Diamonds close the large margin between the Silver Ferns with her quick and accurate shooting. Bassett proved to be a strong holding shooter when played up against the likes of Eboni Beckford-Chambers (her 2012 Fever team mate) and Ama Abgeze (her 2011 Fever team mate) in the three tests against England.
