After several underwhelming seasons, the Bengal Warriorz are determined to break their league-stage exit streak in PKL Season 12. Following a 10th-place finish last season, the team has undergone significant changes both on and off the mat. Former India international and gold medal-winning coach Naveen Kumar steps in as head coach, bringing fresh leadership alongside assistant Praveen Malik.
The Warriorz were among the most active teams at the PKL 12 auction, making a sensational signing with Devank Dalal—PKL 11's top raider—for INR 2.205 crore, making him the most expensive Indian buy this season. To further strengthen their raiding department, they have brought back Korean sensation Jang Kun Lee and signed Iranian raider Omid Khojasteh Mohammadshah, as well as promising talents like Sushil Kambrekar, Vishwas S and Himanshu.
While their raiding unit looks set to light up the season, the Warriorz’s defence appears less experienced. They have retained stars Nitesh Kumar and Mayur Jagannath Kadam, but depth remains a concern at the back. The team also lacks seasoned all-rounders, relying mainly on Shivansh Thakur and debutant Moolchandra Singh in this department.
