Zimbabwe's Tatenda Taibu insisted on Thursday that he is ready to tackle the challenge and the pressure of becoming the youngest ever international captain in the history of the sport.
Taibu will still be 20 when he leads Zimbabwe out to face Sri Lanka in the first Test in Harare on May 6 - the current record was set by the Nawab of Pataudi who was 21 years and 77 days old when he captained India against the West Indies in Bridgetown in 1961-62.
When he was made the vice-captain, he was just 19 and he was surprised Taibu who has succeeded Heath Streak after he quit in controversial circumstances last weekend.
Despite his tender years, Taibu, one of the few black players to have made the senior Zimbabwe team, believes he is the man for the job although he will probably lead out a team stripped of other senior players who are unhappy at the loss of Streak.
