Overview
- The franchise dismissed Prashant Surve after a 10th-place finish last season and installed former India international Naveen Kumar as head coach with Praveen Malik as his assistant.
- At the Season 12 auction, Bengal Warriorz secured Devank Dalal for INR 2.205 crore and added raiders Omid Khojasteh Mohammadshah, Jang Kun Lee and Sushil Kambrekar to deepen their attack.
- They exercised Final Bid Match options to retain star defenders Nitesh Kumar and Mayur Jagannath Kadam but field a largely inexperienced back line beyond those two.
- Only two all-rounders—Shivansh Thakur and debutant Moolchandra Singh—made the squad, leaving potential holes in transitional play and tactical flexibility.
- Season 12 kicks off on August 29 with a six-team playoff format and Bengal Warriorz must finish in the top six to end their four-season postseason drought.
