Yorkshire’s Jason Gillespie to take charge of Adelaide Strikers in Big Bash | |
(about 2 hours later) | |
The Yorkshire coach, Jason Gillespie, is poised to take on a second job, in charge of Adelaide Strikers in Australia’s Big Bash League. | |
The 39-year-old former fast bowler, whose name was recently floated as a possible future England coach should the incumbent Peter Moores be moved on, will run the Twenty20 franchise side in addition to his current position at the reigning county champions. | The 39-year-old former fast bowler, whose name was recently floated as a possible future England coach should the incumbent Peter Moores be moved on, will run the Twenty20 franchise side in addition to his current position at the reigning county champions. |
Gillespie, when he completes the formalities this week, will take up the role with the blessing of his current employers Yorkshire, who believe they will reap the benefits of him developing his leadership skills in the shortest form and transfer that back to their set-up in future English summers. | |
The Guardian understands Gillespie, who masterminded a first county championship title in 13 years for the White Rose last season, pulled out of the running for a similar position at the Melbourne Renegades, with that job subsequently going to the England fast bowling coach David Saker. | |
Saker is contracted to the England and Wales Cricket Board until September but looks set to part ways sooner. | Saker is contracted to the England and Wales Cricket Board until September but looks set to part ways sooner. |
