Northamptonshire have confirmed that David Capel will be the club's head coach after a period in a caretaker role following Kepler Wessels's departure midway through the season.

The chief executive, Mark Tagg, told BBC Radio Northampton: "We put David in position and he had two months to show us what he could do,"

"It's been pretty tough for him and I think he's delivered. You can look at the tremendous performance in the Pro40 to show how he's turned things around."
