Steven Mullaney took over the Nottinghamshire captaincy from Chris Read

All-rounder Steven Mullaney has stepped down as Nottinghamshire captain after six years in the role.

The 36-year-old has led Notts in 133 fixtures across all formats since taking the position full-time in 2018.

Mullaney, who made his debut for the Trent Bridge side in 2010, has one year left on his contract.

"I've put my heart and soul into this job, but I think it's time for someone else to enjoy the ride," Mullaney told the club website.

Mullaney skippered Notts to promotion as County Championship Division Two title winners in 2022.

They finished sixth in the top flight in his final campaign in the role.

"My main aim in the job was to make a difference, and while the big goal was to win Division One - and we weren't quite able to do that - I'm proud of the foundations we've been able to put down for us to challenge in the next few years," he said.
