The Kochi Blue Spikers, owned by the Muthoot Pappachan Group, have retained four players ahead of the third Rupay Prime Volleyball League which will be held in Chennai from February 19 to March 22 next year.
Attackers Erin Varghese and George Antony, opposite hitter Jibin Sebastian and middle blocker B.S. Abhinav have been retained.
Auction in Bengaluru on Thursday
The players auction for the PVL’s third edition will be held in Bengaluru on Thursday and over 500 players have registered for the event. Unlike in the first two editions, teams are allowed to directly sign foreign players this year.
“The players were retained considering their performance in the last edition. We are looking forward to buying the best talents in action to form a team that is equally strong on all fronts,” said Thomas Muthoot, the Blue Spikers’ owner.
