A gold-medalist at the 2015 World Cup, David will add tons of experience to the Heroes squad. The team will also be bolstered by the presence of one of India’s best attackers, Ajith Lal C.

In an interaction with SONY, the experienced middle blocker opened up on how his seniority in the Prime Volleyball League will come with its fair share of challenges.

David’s association with volleyball has seen the veteran star compete in many different countries. But the blocker shed light on how love from Indian fans hasn’t met its match anywhere else across the world.

He added:

“Ajth Lal and Jerome Vinith are two of the best players in India” - David Lee on his teammates at the Prime Volleyball League

In addition to signing Lee, the Calicut Heroes did well in the Prime Volleyball League auction to sign Ajith Lal and Jerome Vinith, two of India’s most talented stars.

Ajith has impressed with his powerful attacking acumen to earn the moniker ‘Hydrogen Boy’. Vinith’s universal style of play has helped put him on a pedestal of Indian volleyball.

Speaking highly of the duo, Lee expressed excitement at the potential of forming a title-winning partnership with them.

Lee discussed the topic of Indian players and how the volleyball ecosystem has meteorically risen over time. He broke down how the marriage of education and sport in the United States has helped develop players holistically.

He added:

A man with multiple titles and years of experience under his belt, Lee will be a crucial cog in the Heroes’ surge for the PVL title. With Ajith Lal and Jerome Vinith for company, the Heroes could well be one of the teams to watch out for this season.
