Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Lahore Qalandars have appointed former Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president and national captain Aminul Islam Bulbul as an advisor to their High-Performance Centres.
The appointment enables Lahore Qalandars to tap into Bulbul’s extensive experience within the Bangladesh cricket ecosystem as the franchise seeks to expand its regional outreach and fortify its ongoing player development framework.
According to an official press release issued by the franchise, Bulbul will provide strategic input on the operational and technical development of the Qalandars’ High-Performance Centres. His primary focus will encompass player development, the refinement of coaching practices, and the establishment of pathways for emerging young cricketers.
