Jason Gillespie has denied reports he is talking to Cricket Australia about taking up a coaching role later this year.
The 41-year-old former Test bowler says he is happy at Yorkshire, who he has led to back-to-back County Championship titles in 2014 and 2015.

The Sydney Morning Herald has linked the Australian with a coaching position back in his homeland but Gillespie said: "Just to be absolutely clear, I have not spoken to CA about a role with the Australian cricket team.

"Darren [Lehmann, head coach] mentioned my name in a radio interview a while back, so it stands to reason that I will be linked to certain positions.
"Bear in mind I have not applied for any role with CA nor do I intend to. I am currently very happy in my roles with Yorkshire and Adelaide Strikers."

A Cricket Australia spokesperson told Sky Sports News HQ: "We're speaking with a number of candidates but by no means is anything confirmed.
"We'll look to make an announcement as soon as the process is complete, with the aim to have the coaching team finalised, at latest, by the start of the 2016-17 Australian summer."
