The Pakistan Super League franchise announced the appointment on Tuesday, saying Aminul would provide guidance on the development of its high-performance facilities, coaching methodologies and pathways for young cricketers aspiring to progress to the professional level.
The move is also expected to support Lahore Qalandars' efforts to expand their grassroots cricket activities and strengthen their presence in Bangladesh by leveraging Islam's extensive experience in international cricket and sports administration.
Aminul served as the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Cricket Development Manager for Asia between 2015 and 2025. Before that, he worked as a Cricket Development Officer at the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). He also served as president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).
A former national captain, Aminul represented Bangladesh in international cricket from 1988 to 2002 and led the country at the 1999 Cricket World Cup.
Lahore Qalandars have established themselves as one of the leading franchises in identifying and nurturing emerging cricketing talent through grassroots initiatives and structured high-performance programmes. Aminul's appointment is expected to bring additional expertise to the franchise's long-term player development ambitions.
