Andrew all praise for Indians’ game

It is very different and it is fun to watch,” American Andrew, one of the two overseas recruits in the Defenders squad, told DT Next in a recent interaction.

They jump very high and have a good IQ. We have good players all around,” said Andrew. Giving an insight into his volleyball career, the 22-year-old Andrew said: “I started playing when I was 15; I played at a small school in North Carolina. I got an opportunity to play in Czech Republic. I was there for two months. I then signed up to play in India. I got the call via my manager, who was asked if I would be interested to play in India. I am here now. So far, India is definitely my favourite place (country).”

He added: “Ahmedabad (he was there for a few days ahead of the camp) and Chennai have been very different. Chennai… the nature… the trees are more beautiful than those in Ahmedabad.”
