Shahid Afridi will captain Pakistan in the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup after his side's one-day series win in New Zealand.
Afridi, who has been leading Pakistan in limited-over internationals since last year, will be supported at the World Cup by Misbah-ul-Haq.
He has been named as vice-captain but had been touted as a possible skipper after leading Pakistan to a 1-0 victory in the Test series against New Zealand.
Pakistan play their first World Cup match against Kenya on February 23 in Sri Lanka.
