Kyle Coetzer to resume as permanent Scotland captain


Kyle Coetzer is to resume as Scotland's permanent captain.

Coetzer, who led Scotland in an interim role during the January tour to the United Arab Emirates, will take over long term for the second time in his career - with Con de Lange as his vice-captain.

The batsman, one of five Scots to have made more than 1,000 one-day international runs and scorer of his country's first World Cup century,  said: "It's a great honour to lead this group of players for the second time.

"We've got a real depth in the squad, and it's the start of an exciting era. I'm fortunate enough to inherit a settled squad and look forward to see them develop to the next level."
