Barriball has stepped down after two years as skipper due to too many Saturday shifts at work affecting his availability.
Tavistock have had an unhappy knack of shuttling between the A and B Divisions of the Tolchards DCL over the past decade, something Barriball managed to prevent.
Cleave, a one-club man through and through, hopes to take Tavistock a step further.
“Our target will be to build on where we left off last season,” said Cleave, who has been involved with Tavistock for 21 seasons.
“Charlie did a fantastic job securing our A Division status for the last two seasons – and staying there is again our priority.
“But I think we showed enough about us at the latter end of last season to give us belief we can challenge with the best of them in this division.”
Cleave isn’t a captaincy novice as he filled in as vice-captain for Barriball last season and has skippered the team in Twenty20 competitions.
Barriball has committed to playing when he can in the summer ahead, but is the first to acknowledge that patchy availability in general is an issue for Tavistock.
“The club took the decision to change the captaincy around due to my lack of availability next season … and the forthcoming ones,” said Barriball.
