Yuva paltan academy

The Pro Kabaddi League: The Pro Kabaddi League season 10's most valuable player and Puneri Paltan captain Aslam Inamdar led his team to their first-ever PKL title in the last season. The defending champions have shown confidence in their triumphant side and have retained 12 players for season 11.

Speaking about the retained group, Aslam said, "I am really happy that we've retained our core group of players. We are also glad to see so many players coming from the Yuva Paltan Academy and doing well in the Pro Kabaddi League. All the players in our team had a strong bond last season and that bond with the retained players will continue this season as well."

When asked about how he feels about the PKL season 11 player auction being held on Independence Day, the all-rounder said, "Kabaddi is India's game and it'll be great for the sport to receive attention on the day our country celebrates its Independence Day. It'll be a different feeling to see franchises bid for players on a special day. The players will also remember that they were acquired by a franchise on Independence Day."
