Preston Mommsen is set to lead Scotland at next year's World Cup after being confirmed as captain by coach Grant Bradburn.
The 27-year-old was named player of the tournament during World Cup qualification, after hitting 520 runs in eight innings in January, with his finest moment coming in the final where he complied a personal best of 139 against United Arab Emirates.
A combination of his excellence on the pitch and his leadership skills off it meant that Mommsen was named as the 2014 ICC Associate and Affiliate Player of the Year recently.
Mommsen takes over the captaincy on a permanent basis from Kyle Coetzer, who has been named as vice-skipper for the tournament which begins in Australia and New Zealand on February 14.
Mommsen said: "It's a huge honour to be leading the Scotland team into the 2015 Cricket World Cup. This group of players have been together for a couple of years now, and this has always been the dream.
"It's an exciting time for everyone involved in Scottish cricket and hopefully our performances in Australia and New Zealand will help promote the game, and inspire the next generation in Scotland."
Bradburn added: "We have a strong squad line-up and excellent leaders in Preston and Kyle, as we prepare to play some international cricketing giants on the world stage next February in New Zealand.
"We don't underestimate the challenge but we have been training hard and will be bringing our absolute best to this hugely important global event."
