After guiding the club to the Premier League in the Greater Manchester Cricket League, Owen Feakes will stay on as captain.
He will be assisted by Adam Bardsley as their season gets started against Roe Green on April 22.
There is a changing of the guard at second XI level as long-serving Si Woods has stepped down.
He is being replaced by Adam Johnson with Ste Wharton selected as his vice-captain.
Flowery Field have added former New Zealand Under-19 international Fergus Lellman to their ranks for the forthcoming season.
