For Rivan Nurmulki, Loudry Maspaitella as the manager of the Indonesian men’s volleyball national team emphasized that his removal was not because the player had criticized PBVSI.

“No, not because of the criticism he (Rivan) made on social media yesterday,” said Loudry, Tuesday (8/8/2023).

Loudry revealed that Rivan was not called up for the 2023 Asian Volleyball Championship because he was focused on the process of resigning from the police and wanted to accompany his wife who was about to give birth.

“So there shouldn’t be any wild balls as a result of the criticism. We have asked media friends and this criticism is not unusual for PBVSI.”

“Rivan will still be prepared for the 2023 Asian Games,” said Loudry.

Meanwhile, Nizar Julfikar was dropped because PBVSI wanted regeneration in the Indonesian men’s volleyball national team squad.

“Through the team’s evaluation after returning from Taiwan, it was decided to write off Nizar, with regeneration in mind.”

“Under Nizar, there are young potential candidates, such as Alfin Daniel. Let’s give the younger generation a chance. We will call Rivan back for the Asian Games, while Nizar will not,” Loudry said in a PBVSI press statement received by Kompas.com , Thursday (10/8/2023).

To fill the void in the spiker position left by Rivan Nurmulki, the Indonesian men’s volleyball team made by Jiang Jie called Agil Anggara, Boy Arnes Arabi, and Amin Kurnia Sandi Akbar.

The schedule for the 2023 Asian Volleyball Championship will be rolled out in Iran from 19-26 August 2023.
