31 year old Crawley who joined Hampshire last season, captained his former county Lancashire from 1999 until his departure two years later.
Crawley replaces Robin Smith who retired from that post after five years in the job.
Team manager Paul Terry also announced that there would not be an appointed vice-captain. "We have a number of experienced players within the squad that could fulfill the roll, should it be required", said Terry.
John Crawley will start his duties immediately by leading out the team in the opening pre-season friendly match at The Rose Bowl today (Monday) against Somerset.
