The announcement, which had been anticipated for much of the season,
comes after Gillespie took up a contract to coach the Adelaide Strikers
in the Big Bash, and his wife, Anna and their four children have
recently returned to live back in Australia.
"The club would like to place on record its thanks to Jason," read a
club statement. "The focus will now be very much on the remaining four
County Championship fixtures, beginning with Wednesday's trip to the
Ageas Bowl to face Hampshire, and on securing the first Championship
treble seen at Headingley since the 1960s."
Martyn Moxon, Yorkshire's director of cricket, will not begin the search
for Gillespie's replacement until the end of the current season. Paul
Farbrace is one name that is bound to be floated - England's assistant
coach had a successful period as head of Yorkshire's academy - but the
former England coach, Peter Moores, is an unlikely contender as he can
expect to be promoted to head coach at Nottinghamshire in an
end-of-season reshuffle at Trent Bridge.
