Kenya Volleyball Men's team head coach Paul Gitau has explained the reasons behind the exclusion of captain Phillip Maiyo, assistant captain Elisha Aliwa and experienced Finland-based left attacker Mike Chemos from his provisional squad for the upcoming Zonal African Olympic Qualifiers set for December.
