The 2024 season of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) will start on Friday, October 18, in Hyderabad with its first-leg matches. The 12 teams in the tournament will hope for a winning start to their new campaign after assembling a well-researched squad following the end of the auction earlier this year. The Season Seven champions, Bengal Warriorz, who have not only retained their prominent players but also signed some big names ahead of PKL 2024, will also hope for the same. But how is their squad selection and preparation for the new PKL season progressing? Let’s take a close look with the SWOT analysis of Bengal Warriorz for PKL Season Eleven.

Strengths
Bengal have retained their star player Maninder Singh during the auction, while also securing a bargain deal to acquire the services of PKL’s most successful defender, Fazel Atrachali, after the auction. This gives them the required star power in both raiding and defence. The two players are not only among the best at what they do but are also natural leaders, which will help the team in the new season.
Weaknesses
Warriorz’s biggest weakness during PKL Season Eleven will be the presence of numerous star players in their squad. If these players fail to coordinate in time, they might end up being one of the most unstable squads in the league.
Opportunities
With so many stars in their ranks, they have a strong chance to claim the title at the end of the season, as all these players have proven to be match-winners for every team they have played for so far.
Threats
Warriorz will need to keep a contingency plan in place in case their star raider Maninder and star defender Fazel fail to perform as expected by the team management. Other teams will try to neutralise these two players, which could add significant pressure on the rest of the squad, who might struggle to perform if their stars are contained.
Bengal Warriorz Full Squad
Vishwas S, Nitin Kumar, Shreyas Umbardand, Aditya S. Shinde, Dipak Arjun Shinde, Maharudra Garje, Fazel Atrachali, Maninder Singh, Chai-Ming Chang, Nitesh Kumar, Mayur Jagannath Kadam, Praveen Thakur, Sambhaji Wabale, Hem Raj, Akash B Chavhan, Arjun Rathi, Vaibhav Bhausaheb Garje, Sagar Kumar, Pranay Vinay Rane, Sushil Kambrekar, Yash Malik, Manjeet, Deep Kumar
