A 15-member group, including top stars R. Angamuthu, Naveen Raja and M. Ukkrapandian, landed in Bengaluru from Chennai on Saturday night for the selection trials to pick the Indian volleyball team for this September’s Asian Games in China.
Another group of about 10 from Kerala, including internationals Jerome Vineeth and Muthusamy who flew from Kochi, reached Bengaluru around the same time. Both the groups were forced to return home a few hours later.
The three-day Asian Games volleyball trials for men, organised by the Sports Authority of India under the guidance of the Indian Olympic Association’s newly-formed ad-hoc committee to run the Volleyball Federation of India, which were scheduled to start in Bengaluru on Sunday did not take place.
