Former world number one Lleyton Hewitt has been named captain of Australia's Davis Cup tennis team.
The 34-year-old takes over from interim captain Wally Masur, who led Australia in their semi-final defeat by Great Britain in Glasgow last month.
Hewitt announced earlier this year that he will end his playing career after the Australian Open in January.
He was a member of victorious Davis Cup teams in 1999 and 2003, and played in a record 41 ties over 16 years.
His first tie as captain will be a World Group first-round match at home against the United States from 4-6 March.
