Generational shift in women’s volleyball

Poonam Chand, who was included in the preliminary squad announced by the Nepal Volleyball Association for the CAVA Women’s Volleyball Championship, is currently in Australia.

After attending training for a few days, she left midway and chose to move abroad. Former national women’s team captain Aruna Shahi also moved to Australia a few months ago. Aruna, who represented the national team for more than a decade, left the country without informing the association. Not only Aruna and Poonam, but many Nepali volleyball players are now choosing Australia as their destination.
