Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie has been targeted by Australia in their search for a bowling coach.

Australia coach Darren Lehmann has confirmed Gillespie is in the running for the job after Craig McDermott's departure.

"Gillespie will certainly be at the forefront with other bowling coaches," former Yorkshire batsman Lehmann told FIVEaa radio.

"We hope we can entice him back."

Australia are not expected to name a new bowling coach until the start of their domestic season this autumn.
