Aminul Islam Jr., also recorded as Aminul Islam Jnr, is a former Bangladeshi fast-medium bowler who represented Bangladesh in one One Day International (ODI) during the 1998–99 season. Born on April 1, 1975, in Rajshahi, Bangladesh, he made his international debut against Kenya in Dhaka on March 20, 1999. Although his international career was brief, his debut match provides a clear record of his contribution: he dismissed Kenyan wicketkeeper Kennedy Otieno and finished with bowling figures of 1 for 33. Aminul subsequently played domestic cricket for Rajshahi Division, taking 71 wickets in first-class cricket and 51 wickets in List A cricket according to CricketArchive. His career is best understood through his international debut and his longer record in Bangladesh’s domestic game.

Who Is Aminul Islam Jr?
Aminul Islam Jr. is a former Bangladesh cricketer whose recorded senior international career consists of a single ODI appearance. His principal documented contribution came as a right-arm fast-medium bowler, although he also batted in the lower order.
His name needs to be distinguished from other Bangladeshi cricketers called Aminul Islam. In particular, he is not the same player as Mohammad Aminul Islam, the former Bangladesh captain widely known as Bulbul, or Aminul Islam Biplob, the leg-spin bowling all-rounder born in 1999. CricketArchive maintains a separate record for the 1975-born fast-medium bowler.

The most reliable way to identify Aminul Islam Jr. is through three details: his Rajshahi birthplace, his right-arm fast-medium bowling, and his appearance in Bangladesh’s ODI against Kenya on March 20, 1999.
Early Life, Birthplace and Family Background
Aminul Islam Jr.’s Age and Birthplace
CricketArchive lists Aminul Islam Jr.’s birth date as April 1, 1975, and his birthplace as Rajshahi, Bangladesh. This places his birth in the period when Bangladesh cricket was still developing its pathway toward full international recognition.
His later career included a Bangladesh ODI appearance in 1999 and several seasons representing Rajshahi Division in domestic competitions. The available cricket records establish his birthplace and playing career, but they do not provide a sufficiently documented account of his childhood or the circumstances in which he first took up cricket.

Aminul Islam Jr.’s Parents and Siblings
Reliable cricket records consulted for this profile do not establish the names or occupations of Aminul Islam Jr.’s parents, nor do they reliably identify his siblings or other family members.
His family background should therefore not be embellished with unverified names, professions or stories about financial hardship. A more detailed family biography would require a credible interview, an official profile or reliable regional reporting that explicitly identifies the relevant relationships.
Education, Height and Personal Details
Publicly accessible cricket profiles provide his basic playing information but do not establish a reliable school or university history, verified height or weight, jersey number, or detailed personal-life information.
These details remain unconfirmed rather than proof that no such records exist. They are not included as established facts in this biography.
Aminul Islam Jr.’s Bangladesh ODI Career
Aminul Islam Jr. made his international debut in the Meril International Tournament on March 20, 1999, when Bangladesh faced Kenya at Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka. The archived scorecard explicitly identifies the match as his ODI debut.

ODI Debut Against Kenya on March 20, 1999
Bangladesh batted first and scored 213 all out in 50 overs. Shahriar Hossain top-scored with 95 from 145 balls, while captain Aminul Islam (Bulbul) made 20. Aminul Islam Jr. entered the innings at number 11 and remained unbeaten on one run.
Kenya chased the target successfully, reaching 215 for two in 43.5 overs to win by eight wickets. Steve Tikolo scored an unbeaten 106 from 111 balls, and Maurice Odumbe contributed an unbeaten 58 from 58 deliveries.

Aminul Islam Jr.’s First ODI Wicket
Aminul Islam Jr.’s most clearly documented international achievement was the dismissal of Kenyan wicketkeeper Kennedy Otieno. Otieno scored eight from 19 balls before being caught by Shahriar Hossain off Aminul’s bowling.
Aminul bowled five overs, conceded 33 runs and took one wicket. His figures included one maiden over. Although Bangladesh lost the match, the dismissal gave him a wicket on his international debut.

+1
This performance is the central statistical highlight of his recorded international career. There is no need to overstate its significance: the scorecard establishes the wicket, the bowling figures and the match result without suggesting that the appearance led to a sustained international role.
Did Aminul Islam Jr. Play More ODIs?
The available career summary lists one ODI appearance for Bangladesh in the 1998–99 season. CricketArchive records no further ODI career for him after that match, and the accessible profile does not establish a Test or T20 International career.
CricketArchive
+1
His international record should consequently be described as a one-match ODI career, rather than a lengthy international tenure. A single appearance also does not, by itself, establish why a player was not selected again; no verified explanation for his subsequent international absence is available here.

Aminul Islam Jr.’s Domestic Cricket Career
Aminul’s domestic record provides a broader picture of his senior playing career than his single ODI appearance. CricketArchive records him representing Rajshahi Division in first-class and List A cricket across seasons spanning 2000–01 to 2003–04.

Rajshahi Division and First-Class Cricket
Aminul Islam Jr. played 25 first-class matches for Rajshahi Division. He took 71 wickets, with best innings figures of six for 57. His bowling average was 22.19, and his recorded economy rate was 2.45 runs per over. These figures indicate a substantially larger body of domestic bowling work than his international record alone suggests.
CricketArchive
His first-class batting record was more modest. He scored 442 runs in 37 innings, with a highest score of 52 and a batting average of 17.00.

His Best First-Class Bowling Performance
Aminul’s best recorded first-class innings figures were six wickets for 57 runs. This was his leading individual bowling return in the format and the strongest numerical marker in his documented first-class career.
His 71 wickets across 25 matches show that he contributed over multiple domestic appearances rather than in a single isolated performance. However, the accessible career summary does not supply enough match-by-match context to identify the exact opposition, venue and date of the six-wicket performance with confidence. Those details should be confirmed against the original scorecard before being published.
List A Cricket for Rajshahi Division
Aminul also played List A cricket, the domestic one-day format that uses limited-overs rules. His recorded List A career extended from 1998–99 through 2003–04.
CricketArchive lists 31 matches, 51 wickets and best bowling figures of five for 31. His bowling average was 18.88, with an economy rate of 3.75 runs per over. These figures are a notable part of his profile because they show that his one-wicket ODI record was not representative of the full number of wickets he took in senior limited-overs cricket.

These are documented career milestones, not claims that he holds a world or national record. No independently verified record title, major individual award or senior international captaincy achievement was established in the sources used for this profile.
Aminul Islam Jr.’s Playing Style
CricketArchive identifies Aminul as a right-arm fast-medium bowler and right-handed batter. His recorded first-class and List A wicket totals make bowling the most important statistical part of his documented career.
CricketArchive
The distinction between his bowling and batting contributions is clear in the career figures:
- First-class cricket: 71 wickets and 442 runs.
- List A cricket: 51 wickets and 98 runs.
- ODIs: one wicket and one unbeaten run.
The figures support describing him primarily as a bowler. They do not, on their own, establish particular technical strengths, preferred deliveries, bowling phases or a distinctive tactical reputation. No sufficiently reliable coach or analyst assessment was identified to justify more detailed claims about his technique.
Aminul Islam Jr.’s International Status and Later Career
Aminul’s documented international appearance came in March 1999, while his domestic career record extends into the 2003–04 season. The available career profile does not establish a later return to the Bangladesh national side, a coaching appointment, a selection role or a post-retirement career.
CricketArchive
+1
The responsible description is that he is a former Bangladesh international whose recorded senior career is associated with the late 1990s and early 2000s. An exact retirement date should not be assigned without a reliable source.
His career illustrates why international caps alone do not describe a cricketer’s complete playing record. Although he appeared in only one ODI, his domestic figures document 71 first-class wickets and 51 List A wickets for a more substantial body of senior cricket.

Aminul Islam Jr.’s Net Worth, Salary and Contracts
No dependable public net-worth estimate, verified salary figure, endorsement agreement or franchise contract amount was established from the sources consulted for this biography.
His 1990s international appearance and domestic career statistics are documented, but they do not provide enough information to calculate his personal wealth. It would be misleading to convert match appearances or wicket totals into a financial estimate.
Aminul Islam Jr.’s Family, Religion and Personal Life
No reliable public evidence was established for Aminul Islam Jr.’s spouse or partner, children, parents’ names, siblings, religion, caste or other sensitive personal attributes. These details are therefore not presented as facts.
The same caution applies to hobbies, charity work, businesses, official social-media accounts and personal quotations: a lack of verified information in the sources consulted should not be turned into an invented biographical narrative.
