Bengal Warriorz will be eyeing a better performance in the upcoming Pro Kabaddi League 2025 (PKL 2025) after struggling to perform well in recent seasons.
They have failed to progress ahead of the league stage in the last four seasons and will be desperate to make amends in the 12th season of the competition. Their failure to qualify for the playoffs last season led to the sacking of their head coach Prashant Surve.
The Warriorz decided to sack Surve after finishing 10th in the 12-team competitions. The Warriorz could only win five of their 22 games and were one of the worst-performing teams last season. For the new season, they have appointed Naveen Kumar as their head coach and will be hoping for a better campaign this year.
