Aminul Islam, a former captain of Bangladesh, has been hired as an advisor to the High-Performance Centres of the three-time Pakistan Super League (PSL) winners Lahore Qalandars. Islam will offer advice on the creation of the Qalandars’ High-Performance Centres in his advisory capacity, with an emphasis on player development, coaching techniques, and providing chances for young cricket players to advance in the sport.
In this role, Aminul will aim to improve coaching methods at those facilities, provide young cricket players with clearer pathways, and directly impact the day-to-day operations of the High-Performance Centres. The team has cited his ten years of experience in Asian cricket as a major factor in their decision to hire him, seeing the move as a step toward expanding their development outreach in the area.
As the team continues to bolster its grassroots and player development programs, the Lahore Qalandars want to gain from Islam’s vast experience in international cricket administration and development, especially his work in Asia. Islam has a great deal of experience in both cricket administration and international cricket. From 2015 until 2025, he was the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Cricket Development Manager for Asia. Prior to that, he was an Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Cricket Development Officer.
His previous work with the Asian Cricket Council was followed and enhanced by that lengthy tenure with the international governing body, which gave him a wide administrative base at both the continental and international levels.
From 1988 to 2002, Islam played for Bangladesh on the field; during that time, he led the team in the 1999 World Cup. He is a unique choice for a franchise development program because of his background as a player and his succession of administrative positions in the Asian Cricket Council, the ICC, and the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
