Jason Gillespie to combine Yorkshire & Adelaide roles

Gillespie and captain Andrew Gale helped Yorkshire to their first Championship title for 13 years

Former Australia bowler Jason Gillespie has been made the new coach of Big Bash League side Adelaide Strikers but will also remain in charge at Yorkshire.

The 39-year-old became Yorkshire coach in November 2011, and led them to the County Championship title last year.

He has agreed a two-year deal with the South Australian franchise starting in December, in the English off-season.

"I am looking forward to bringing back some experiences to Yorkshire, which will improve our T20 cricket," he said.
