According to Islam, the BCCI plans to decide only after consultations with the Indian government.
'I have already spoken to the BCCI. The discussions have been positive,' Aminul told the media following the 19th board meeting held at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Monday.
'We are hopeful. The tour is scheduled [for next month], but they are awaiting some government approvals.'

He added that if India cannot travel in August, the BCCI has assured Bangladesh that the series will be played in the next available window, though no specific reason was given for the current uncertainty.
'The talks are ongoing. If for any reason they can't come in August, they will tour in the next window. We are still optimistic about this schedule. All I can say is that the BCCI has been professional and cooperative,' Aminul said.

2nd Test: Jaiswal makes 87, Gill unbeaten on 42 as India reach 182/3 at tea
Birmingham: Yashasvi Jaiswal's promising knock ended in him making 87 while captain Shubman Gill showed enormous patience to be unbeaten on 42 as India reached 182/3 in 53 overs at tea on day one of second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test against England at Edgbaston on Wednesday. It was a session where old-fashioned attritional cricket took centrestage, as India made 84 runs in 28 overs. Though Jaiswal fell 13 runs short of his sixth Test hundred, Gill continued to hold fort in his unbeaten 109-ball knock laced with just three boundaries. With Rishabh Pant unbeaten on 14 off 28 balls, India will look to pile more runs, as another session of toil awaits England's bowlers. The second session began with Gill and Jaiswal picking up singles whenever an opportunity came. While Jaiswal got a boundary by slicing over the slips, Gill got his boundaries off edges through gully twice, while being severely tested on playing around his front pad. Woakes continues to test Gill around the middle stump line in the hope of getting him playing across his front pad, but the Indian skipper, batting outside the crease, handled it well with his sturdy forward defence. With Tongue and Bashir coming in, Jaiswal and Gill got a four each as they brought up the fifty-run partnership. But Stokes once again pulled a rabbit out of a hat to get England a vital breakthrough, as Jaiswal tried to cut one away outside off and got a thin edge behind to keeper Jamie Smith, with the England skipper ecstatic in his celebration. While Gill continued to be happy in getting singles on both sides of the wicket, Pant took his time and respected some good bowling coming his way before dancing down the pitch to smack a half-volley from Bashir over long-on for six. The duo knocked off singles in the last two overs before tea break arrived. Brief Scores: India 182/3 in 53 overs (Yashasvi Jaiswal 87, Shubman Gill 42 not out. Rishabh Pant 14*; Brydon Carse 1-26, Ben Stokes 1-33) against England

Ankeet Chavan to coach Mumbai Under-14; Omkar Salvi retained as Ranji coach
The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has appointed former left-arm spinner Ankeet Chavan as head coach of Mumbai Under-14 team. Chavan was one of the three Rajasthan Royals players who was banned for life for the alleged spot-fixing in 2013. They were allowed to resume their competitive cricket two years ago after the Indian cricket board had reduced their ban to seven years. Chavan continued to play club cricket in Mumbai for Karnataka Sports Club and later cleared his Level-1 exam as for coaching. 'I'm looking forward to it (on his new assignment). It's a second innings for me and there is always a turn around. I really want to thank MCA for showing faith in me. Coaching was certainly on my mind and I know what challenges it has going ahead. As it's Under-14 cricket I want to work on the basics of players and show them the path so that they can improve their game,' Chavan told The Indian Express. In 2013, the BCCI disciplinary committee had found S Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Chavan guilty of spot-fixing in the IPL and had handed them life bans. However in 2015, a Delhi trial court dropped all charges against these players for lack of evidence. However, the BCCI continued to impose a life ban. In June 2021, the BCCI reduced the ban of all cricketers involved in spot fixing scandal to seven years. Chavan played 18 First-Class matches and 20 List A games apart from 13 IPL matches. The MCA announced its appointments of coaches and selectors across age group cricket on Wednesday. The MCA has decided to retain its head coach of the Ranji Trophy team Omkar Salvi for next domestic season. MCA president Ajinkya Naik in a statement said, 'His (Salvi) outstanding leadership and coaching over the past two seasons have played a vital role in the team's strong performances. His ability to bring out the best in players has been exceptional.' On the back of his Ranji Trohpy show, Salvi was appointed as bowling coach of Royal Challengers of Bangalore last season. Sandip Patil will also continue as the chairman of the selection committee.

Jalen Brunson raises eyebrows with unexpected take on New York Knicks' coaching situation
Jalen Brunson. Image via: Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images The New York Knicks' eventful offseason has taken yet another turn. Jalen Brunson has grabbed everyone's attention following his cryptic reaction to the New York Knicks' coach hunt. While the franchise continues its search for a new head coach following the dismissal of Tom Thibodeau, NBA insiders revealed that assistant coach Rick Brunson, Jalen's father, is expected to remain on staff. The report sparked a wave of online chatter after Jalen's eyebrow-raising post lit up social media. Jalen Brunson reacts as the New York Knicks' coach search continues Despite the New York Knicks being deep into their head coaching search, with former Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown emerging as the favorite, NBA insider Marc Stein reported a detail that shifted the spotlight. 'The Stein Line has learned that Rick Brunson, father of Knicks star Jalen Brunson, is expected to remain part of the Knicks' coaching staff… Same is expected for some other key holdovers from Thibodeau's staff. ' Jalen responded in signature style on X, quote-tweeting the update with a simple but loaded: 'WHAT?!' The sarcastic post instantly went viral, hinting at an inside joke rather than surprise. After all, Rick Brunson has been on the Knicks' bench since 2022, the same offseason his son signed with the team in free agency. Nearly four weeks after moving on from Tom Thibodeau, the New York Knicks appear close to naming his replacement. Former Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown has now emerged as the clear frontrunner following a second face-to-face meeting with the organization. Brown, who won NBA Coach of the Year in 2022–23, has built his reputation around tough, defense-first basketball. Perhaps, the Knicks have leaned into his style in recent years. Also Read: Kevin Durant and Steve Nash revealed big issues with small guards in modern NBA games But this is still James Dolan's team, and nothing happens without his stamp. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, 'Brown... will require ultimate endorsement from Knicks owner James Dolan before he can be named Thibodeau's successor.' That second interview wasn't just a formality. SNY's Ian Begley confirmed that Dolan was present during the meeting, signaling that the decision is now firmly in the owner's hands. Regardless, the Knicks are yet to finalize their head coach, and Jalen's response just added a spark to the whole coach-hunt process. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story.
