In an exciting development for Pakistani volleyball, Murad Khan is poised to join the South Korean team, Incheon Korean Air Jumbos, as a temporary replacement for Australian player Lincoln Williams, who is sidelined due to injury.
The International Transfer Agreement (ITC) is the final hurdle before Murad Khan can take the court for the V-League game.
The ITC serves as a ‘letter of permission,’ allowing an overseas player to participate in a league outside their home country.
While initially vying for a spot in this year’s Korean V-League tryout, Murad Khan was not selected by any teams and instead signed with a Bulgarian team.
This dynamic player had also previously undergone a tryout in Türkiye, showcasing his ambition to explore opportunities across various leagues.
Murad Khan has notable experience, having played in Serbia for two seasons starting in 2021. Joining the Korean league represents a significant step forward for him, providing an opportunity to elevate his game and enhance his skills in a more competitive environment.
The Pakistani volleyball scene is currently thriving, with the national team achieving success by winning a Silver medal in the 2019 South Asian Games held in Kathmandu, Nepal.
In the recent Asian Games, Pakistan secured the 5th position in the competition, reaching the Quarter-Finals but falling to Qatar in a closely contested 3-1 match.
As Murad Khan prepares to make his mark in the South Korean league, the anticipation is high, and fans are eager to witness his contributions to the Incheon Korean Air Jumbos.
This move not only reflects Murad Khan’s individual journey but also signifies the growing recognition of Pakistani talent on the international volleyball stage.
