Tim Ambrose has been named captain of Warwickshire for the remainder of the county season while Darren Maddy, the incumbent, heads off to South Africa to take part in the Twenty20 World Championship.

Ambrose, 24, who heads the Warwickshire batting averages in the 2007 County Championship with 53.06, said he was looking forward to his interim role. "It is a great honour to captain the club while Darren is on international duty," he said. "We have a tough couple of games coming up.

"We will need to be a strong unit and fight right up to the end of the season. I will be looking to follow Darren and lead by example. I have the team behind me and I look forward to leading them out on Thursday [the first day of the County Championship match against Surrey]."

Ambrose stood in for Maddy, who had an ankle injury, in yesterday's Pro40 Division One match against Lancashire, but ended up on the losing side.
