Advertisements

Long-serving Derbyshire batter Wayne Madsen has been re-appointed captain of the County Championship side nine years after he stepped down as skipper.

The 41-year-old was captain when Derbyshire won the Division Two title and promotion in 2012.

He steps up as David Lloyd’s replacement a day after the top-order batter gave up the role to better focus on his own game.

With 14,601 first-class runs for Derbyshire, a total which ranks him ninth in the club’s history, the club describes Madsen as their “greatest modern-day player”.

He is the club’s second highest scorer across all formats, with 22,271 to his name.

“It’s a real privilege to captain Derbyshire again,” Madsen told the club website., external

“David has done a fantastic job in laying the foundations for me to build on.

“While results didn’t always go our way last season, he and Mickey [head of cricket Mickey Arthur], with his vast experience and knowledge, have fostered a real sense of togetherness and resilience within the squad—qualities I want to carry forward this year.”
