Durham skipper Paul Collingwood has put aside retirement plans and signed a contract extension until the end of the 2015 season.
The 38-year-old former England all-rounder, who played 68 Tests for his country, will continue in his role as the county's captain.
He has scored 13,759 first-class runs at an average of 35.92.
"You're a long time retired and I've still got ambitions to take this team forward," he told the county's website.
"It really is a special group of guys to be involved with and I don't want to give that up too early."
The ex-England one-day captain had previously suggested he may retire at the end of this season but, with last year's County Championship winners battling to avoid relegation to Division Two, he has decided to carry on.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Well if they want him back why not. Retirement from test cricket does not mean retirement from first class cricket. As long as he is able to contribute and guide the players around him, I am all for it. His experience should continue to be an asset.
