Everest Women’s Volleyball League on Friday announced the players and coaches of the all participating six teams for the inaugural season of its tournament.

Gandaki, Kathmandu, Madhesh, Lalitpur, Karnali and Chitwan will compete in the tournament.

The marquee players of the team were unveiled last week. National team captain Aruna Shahi will represent Chitwan. Other marquee players Saraswati Chaudhary, Salina Shrestha, Niruta Thagunna, Usha Bhandari and Sumitra Regmi will be competing for Gandaki, Lalitpur, Madhesh, Kathmandu and Karnali, respectively.

The players have been classified into three tiers, with each team featuring one “A” grade player, four “B” grade players, and three “C” grade players. The teams are permitted to sign a minimum of three foreign players each, while one player will be selected through a talent hunt.

Jagadish Bhatta, the coach of the national women’s volleyball team who recently guided Nepal to a historic victory over India at the CAVA Women’s Volleyball Nations League, will be at the helm of Team Kathmandu.
