Lahore Qalandars appoint Aminul Islam as advisor

Former Bangladesh captain to guide franchise's high-performance centres and youth development

Lahore Qalandars have appointed former Bangladesh captain Aminul Islam as an advisor to the franchise's High-Performance Centres, the Pakistan Super League side said on Tuesday.

Islam will advise on the development of the centres, focusing on player development, coaching practices and creating pathways for young cricketers to progress in the game.

The appointment is part of Lahore Qalandars' efforts to strengthen their grassroots cricket initiatives and expand their outreach in Bangladesh by drawing on Islam's experience in international cricket and administration.

Islam served as the International Cricket Council's Cricket Development Manager for Asia from 2015 to 2025 and previously worked as a Cricket Development Officer at the Asian Cricket Council.

He also served as president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, bringing administrative experience alongside a lengthy career in international cricket.

During his playing days, Islam represented Bangladesh from 1988 to 2002 and captained the national side at the 1999 Cricket World Cup.

Lahore Qalandars have built a reputation for identifying and developing emerging talent through their grassroots and high-performance programmes, with the latest appointment expected to add further experience to those efforts.
