Williams takes over from Hamilton Masakadza, who retired in September and is now the director of cricket
Zimbabwe have named Sean Williams as their new Test captain and Chamu Chibhabha as the interim skipper of their white-ball teams.
Williams takes over from Hamilton Masakadza, who retired in September and is now the director of cricket.
The new Test captain led the T20 team the last time Zimbabwe were in action, in October.
"The role of captain is an honour and a responsibility which Sean and Chamu thoroughly deserve, both of them being exceptional players and great servants of our game over the years," Masakadza said.
"I am delighted that they have accepted their new roles and I extend my congratulations to them and wish them all the best as they help to take Zimbabwe to the next level."
ZC also announced a new selection panel consisting of David Mutendera, Gavin Ewing, Shepherd Makunura and Prosper Utseya, among others.
