Wales have named hooker Dewi Lake as captain for their summer internationals ahead of fit-again flanker Jac Morgan.
Lake led the side for eight Tests in the 2025 autumn series and 2026 Six Nations while Morgan was injured.
The British and Irish Lions flanker captained Wales in the first game of the Steve Tandy era against Argentina but dislocated his left shoulder when scoring a try.
The Gloucester-bound Ospreys have both been named in the squad for the summer internationals, which start against the Barbarians at Allianz Stadium in Twickenham on Saturday, and Lake will be skipper.
“It’s always a massive honour to captain Wales,” he said.
“We have an incredible leadership group and are full of leaders – Dafydd Jenkins, Jac, Tomos Williams, Josh Adams – so it’s not a job I will do alone.”
