Hampshire wicketkeeper Ben Brown has been named the club’s captain for the 2025 County Championship season.
The 36-year-old takes over the role from James Vince, who has moved to a white ball contract.
Former Sussex skipper Brown moved to Hants from their south coast neighbours in 2022 and has made 69 appearances across the County Championship and One Day Cup for the club.
Vince will continue to lead the T20 Blast side, while Nick Gubbins remains skipper of the One Day Cup squad.
“It’s an honour and I feel incredibly privileged to be elected as captain for the County Championship. Coming in and seeing the pictures of those who have done it before me, it feels surreal to be part of that history,” Brown said.
“As a club, we’re desperate to win the Championship. James Vince has been a tremendous leader, and will continue to be in the Blast, and hopefully I can continue our winning mentality as we continue to push for the four-day title.”
