Former England opener Michael Carberry will replace Mark Cosgrove as Leicestershire captain next summer, BBC Radio Leicester understands.
Last week, Foxes chief executive Wasim Khan promised "wholesale changes" after a winless season in Division Two of the County Championship.
Cosgrove joined the Foxes ahead of the 2015 season and has been Championship captain for the last three seasons.
Carberry arrived on loan in August and signed a two-year contract last month.
Leicestershire finished bottom of Division Two with nine defeats in 14 matches.
