Lancashire have appointed Steven Croft as their head coach after he took charge of the club on an interim basis during last season.
The 41-year-old took over in May after the departure of Dale Benkenstein following a winless start to the 2025 County Championship.
Croft led the Red Rose to top of the Vitality Blast North Group and Finals Day as well as improving their fortunes in the County Championship as they finished fifth in Division Two.
“It means so much to have the honour of being named head coach of this great Club. Lancashire has been a huge part of my life – from joining the academy as a young player, to captaining the team, and now stepping into this role off the field,” Croft said.
“I’m incredibly proud of how the lads responded last season, and I’m excited for what’s ahead. We have a talented, driven squad who are passionate about representing the Red Rose and I believe there is much more to come.”
