Jason Gillespie would take England job if offered by ECB

The Yorkshire coach, 40, has been impressed by Andrew Strauss, England's new director of cricket, after positive face-to-face meetings this week.

Australian Gillespie said on Friday he was one of several candidates in the frame for the position vacated by Peter Moores's sacking on 9 May.
England caretaker coach Paul Farbrace has also declared his interest.
However, the ECB has not yet offered the job to anyone.

"Strauss and Gillespie met on Monday in Leeds and again on Thursday in London. They got on well and found a lot of common ground in a bid to resurrect the fortunes of the England team.
"Strauss explained that there were other candidates and he had to go through a proper process. As yet there has not been a firm offer to Gillespie, who loves his job at Yorkshire, where he has had considerable success. But he is ambitious and loves a challenge."

Former Australia fast bowler Gillespie led Yorkshire from Division Two to the 2014 County Championship title within three years and previously said he would "take persuading" to leave his current job.

Gillespie is with the White Rose county for their four-day Championship game at Somerset, which begins on Sunday.

England's second Test against New Zealand starts on Friday at Headingley - Yorkshire's home ground.

The timing of both matches suggest the process of appointing a successor to Moores could last until the conclusion of England's two-Test series against the Black Caps, for which Farbrace has been put in charge.
