Cameron Bancroft will captain Durham as he continues his comeback from a ban for his part in the Australian ball-tampering scandal.
Bancroft, who was suspended for nine months over his role in the affair against South Africa at Newlands, which saw Steven Smith and David Warner banned for one year, agreed in July to join Durham as their overseas signing for 2019. Bancroft's ban ended in December, while March 29 marks the end of the international bans for Smith and Warner, who are both preparing to play in the IPL.
Bancroft replaces Paul Collingwood as captain of Durham's County Championship and Royal London Cup sides following Collingwood's retirement at the end of the 2018 season.
