Willey and Gardner handed Rockets' captaincy
- Published
Trent Rockets have named David Willey and Ash Gardner as captain of their men's and women's teams respectively.
Former England all-rounder Willey, 35, replaces Lewis Gregory as captain for his first season at Trent Bridge.
Australia's Gardner takes over from England skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt, who stepped down from the role to manage her workload.
Gardner, 28, joined the Rockets for her first taste of The Hundred last year, finishing as both the side's second-highest run-scorer and leading wicket-taker.
"Playing for the Rockets last year was so much fun and it will be incredible this year to lead the team," said Gardner.
"Taking over from Nat is an honour, and we have a great squad this year so I'm really excited to get going as captain."
Trent Rockets' first fixtures are against Birmingham Phoenix on 8 August. Both the men's and women's side finished fifth last season.
