Kent have appointed batsman Sam Northeast as club captain for the 2016 season, replacing Rob Key.
The 25-year-old filled in as skipper for much of 2015 when Key was out of the first-team, and he scored over 2,000 runs in al competitions.
"It's a very special moment and I am extremely honoured," Northeast told BBC Radio Kent.
"I've had a good mentor in Rob Key and he did a fantastic job for many years. Hopefully I can emulate his success."
Key spent nine of the past 10 years as Kent captain, with spinner James Tredwell leading the side in 2013.
Northeast came through Kent's academy and signed a new "long-term" contract at the St Lawrence Ground earlier this summer.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
