Former Test quick says he is focused on current job at Yorkshire
Gillespie denies talking to Australia
Former Australian Test cricketer Jason Gillespie says he hasn't spoken with Australian authorities despite being linked to a coaching role with the national side.
The former paceman's stock as a coach has risen during his four years at Headingley in England, during which he has won back-to-back County Championship titles.
He was on the shortlist to replace Peter Moores as England head coach last year, eventually missing out to compatriot Trevor Bayliss, but has been linked with Australia's vacant bowling coach position.
Australian coach Darren Lehmann told Adelaide radio last week that Gillespie would "certainly be at the forefront with other bowling coaches" when they look to make an appointment, likely to be at the start of the domestic season.

However, Gillespie has poured cold water on the speculation and is concentrating on Yorkshire.
"I haven't had any contact, so there's nothing to report to be honest," Gillespie, who took 402 wickets in all formats for Australia, told Yorkshire's official website.
"If anything changes, I'll let you know. At this point, it's just focusing on my role here.
"There is still a lot to do at Yorkshire and I solely want to concentrate on helping this team win cricket matches.
"You don't rule out opportunities in the future. It's whether you feel like you can make a difference in any job that comes available.
"It’s well documented that I’ve got four kids under the age of 10.
"My eldest daughter, she’s 21, has just had a little girl. So family is important, and it should be an important consideration. Any job that comes up, certainly, I’ve always said family comes first.
"If any opportunities come up in the future, that would be certainly be a consideration."
