Pakistani volleyball player, Murad Khan, looks set to join South Korean team, Incheon Korean Air Jumbo, as a temporary replacement for Australian, Lincoln Williams, who is absent due to injury.
Khan is expected to feature in a V-League match once the International Transfer Agreement (ITC) is completed. The ITC acts as a “letter of permission” for a player from abroad to play in a league other than his country.
The Pakistani was initially named among the applicants for this year’s K-League trial, however, he was not picked by any team and was signed by a Bulgarian team instead.
Murad Khan had previously experimented in Türkiye as well.
Khan previously played in Serbia for two seasons, starting in 2021.
The K-League is a step forward for him as he hopes to up the ante and improve his game while playing in a better league.
Pakistan Volleyball is having an exciting time as the team won the silver medal in the 2019 South Asian Games previously held in Kathmandu, Nepal.
In last year’s Asian Games, Pakistan finished as the fifth best team in the competition, after losing in the quarter-finals to Qatar, 3-1.
