James Vince will split his captaincy duties with returning overseas player George Bailey for Hampshire this summer.
Vince will continue as club captain, leading the team in limited-overs fixtures, while Australian batsman Bailey - back for his second stint with the club on a two-year contract - will take charge in the Specsavers County Championship.
Hampshire director of cricket Giles White said: "We are fortunate to have two excellent captains within the squad, and a split between the formats seems a sensible option for us."
It emerged earlier this week that 34-year-old Bailey will make a late arrival this summer because he is about to get married. He will be unavailable in the championship until the match away to promoted Essex on May 19.
