Ingram takes over reins at Warriors

FORMER Proteas batsman Colin Ingram has been named captain of the Chevrolet Warriors for the coming cricket season.

The announcement ends Davy Jacobs's six- season reign as skipper of the franchise. Jacobs will continue as a player in the squad.

Cricket Eastern Cape released a statement late yesterday saying it was time for change.

"Ingram with his international experience had captained the team on a couple of occasions in the absence of Davy Jacobs and has shown he possesses all the attributes to lead the team into a new era," the statement read.

Chairman of the board John Ross-Smith said they believed the hard-working Ingram would naturally lead by example and assist the young Warriors team to once again bring back silverware to the Eastern Cape.

Jacobs led the team to trophies in the Standard Bank Pro20 and the MTN40 in 2010-11. - Alvin Reeves
