Anderson, who has played just one Championship match this season due to a calf injury, has found his rhythm in the Vitality Blast \u2014 a format he returned to after over a decade \u2014 taking 10 wickets in four matches. He will now channel that form into red-ball leadership, starting with the match against Kent in Blackpool on Sunday, followed by an away fixture against Derbyshire in Chesterfield.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cJimmy will lead the side and it is exciting for him and us,\u201d interim head coach Steven Croft told BBC sport. \u201cHe has captained only once and that was in a pre-season tour T20 game in Dubai, so it will be nice for Jimmy and nice for the lads. He has obviously got a lot to offer on and off the field. It will be a proud moment for him.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The leadership switch comes amid a season of transitions for Lancashire. Harris had taken over the red-ball captaincy from Keaton Jennings following a poor start to the campaign that also saw head coach Dale Benkenstein depart. Anderson will now become the club\u2019s third Championship captain this summer, stepping into a pivotal role at a crucial juncture in the season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Lancashire are currently languishing second from bottom in Division Two, with five draws and two losses in seven games. However, their form in the Vitality Blast has offered a silver lining, winning four of six to sit third in the North Group. Croft believes the team is poised for a turnaround in the Championship campaign.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
