Jason Gillespie named Australia’s T20 assistant coach

Former Australian Test bowler Jason Gillespie has been appointed as assistant coach for Australia's Twenty20 campaign against Sri Lanka for the three T20 internationals in February.

Cricket Australia have announced that the 41-year-old will work with Justin Langer, who was named as coach earlier this month.

Gillespie has a vast of experience including five successful years as head coach of English county Yorkshire. 

"I'm just buzzing to get this role. It really is an exciting opportunity and I'm humbled to be thought of by Cricket Australia in this regard," the Sydney born bowler said. 

"With some players likely to be away in India it really will be a shop window for players from the BBL to showcase their skills and to show the selectors and the Australian public what they can do." 

Gillespie has claimed 259 wickets in 71 Tests and 142 wickets in 97 ODIs for Australia. 
The three T20s against Sri Lanka will take place at the MCG on February 17, Geelong on February 19 and the Adelaide Oval on February 22.
