The Pakistan Volleyball team has been performing well in recent years and now their stars are shining in foreign leagues such as Iran and Korean V-league.
The 33-year-old Pakistan skipper, Aimal Khan plays in the opposite-hitter position, which is one of the most important positions on the field. For this position, a player needs to have an excellent skillset in both offense and defense. He used to play for the department of WAPDA back in the day as a local volleyball player.
Earlier Murad Khan scored the highest points (52) in a single match for the season and became a household name in the Korean V-League. He has also been a pivotal part of the successes of the Pakistan Volleyball team.
These are the golden days for the Pakistan Volleyball team, as the team won a Silver medal in the previously held 2019 South Asian Games in Kathmandu, Nepal. Pakistan finished as the 5th best team in the last year’s Asian Games, after losing the Quarter-Final to Qatar, 3-1. They stunned favorites South Korea to reach the semifinals of the Asian Games under Brazilian coach, Issanaye Ferraz.
