Yorkshire head coach Jason Gillespie has been given compassionate leave following the death of his father over the weekend.

Neil Gillespie passed away in Leeds on Saturday after suffering a heart attack while visiting his son.

"It is with deep regret and sadness that we learn of the passing of Jason Gillespie's father, who died from a heart attack on Saturday," said the club in a statement.

"Jason's mother and father were staying with him in Leeds on holiday. Our heartfelt condolences go to Jason, his mother and family.

"Gillespie will not travel with the team for [Sunday's] Yorkshire's Friends Life T20 match at Queen's Park, Chesterfield against Derbyshire Falcons."

Yorkshire have not set a date for Gillespie's return to coaching.
