Toshack has appointed Craig Bellamy Wales captain in the absence of regular skipper Ryan Giggs for the upcoming games against Slovakia and Cyprus and Roy Evans says Bellamy will be an excellent captain.
"Craig is one of the most enthusiastic players you can meet," said the former Liverpool boss.
"He is passionate about his country and passionate about his football. The captaincy is a good decision, it's another of John's surprises.
"It's all about passion. His passion for Wales is phenomenal, and his passion for playing.
"We hope he can transfer his passion now to the rest of the players."
