Jason Gillespie has ruled himself out of the England coaching job after insisting he is fully committed to Yorkshire.

With Peter Moores’s future coming under scrutiny during England’s ignominious World Cup campaign, Gillespie has been tipped as an immediate replacement. But while expressing sympathy for the England coach, the Australian emphasised that his own future lay with the county champions.

“It’s nice to be thought of in that way but I’ll tell you right now: I’m committed to Yorkshire and looking forward to the county season,” he said.

“I’m very comfortable at Yorkshire, we’ve got a great programme here. The county season is about to kick off, we leave for Abu Dhabi on Thursday so it’s very exciting. My focus is 100% here.”

England were finally ejected from the tournament by Bangladesh and Moores said: “I want to carry on desperately. It’s certainly not my decision. I hope [to stay].

“I’m here to try and make a difference. Certainly on a day like today you look at it and you know we have a lot of work to do in one-day cricket - there’s no doubt about that.”

Gillespie said: “It’s disappointing for England, they’re a better side than that. But to be honest they haven’t bowled well enough and the batting at times has let them down as well. With that combination you aren’t going to win too many games.”

The Australian attracted some admiring glances from the international scene as he guided the White Rose to their first championship in 13 years last season and was briefly linked with the Australia post when Darren Lehmann was appointed.
