We have a good mix of players; both experience and youth in our team, we're happy with the composition" said Dakshinamoorthy Sundaresan in a statement.

Sajad Hussain Malik, who has 16 years of coaching experience, said that the coaching staff is expecting great results from the Ahmedabad Defenders, "With the experience of Dakshinamoorthy sir and myself, we have devised a high-level training program for our players. We have a good team combination. We are expecting great results from the team in the Prime Volleyball League. We are not leaving any stone unturned in our preparations.

"The international players' contribution will be amazing. We have been competing with Asian countries at the international level, but the Prime Volleyball League is inviting the best players from all over the world.
