Yorkshire: Club suspend coach Andrew Gale for tweet he sent in 2010

Yorkshire head coach Andrew Gale has been suspended as part of an investigation into a tweet he sent in 2010.

In a statement, the club said Gale, 37, is "currently suspended pending a disciplinary hearing" and "will make a further statement once this process has been completed".

Gale told Jewish News he was "completely unaware" of the offensive nature of the term and deleted the tweet as soon as he was made aware.

He made 156 first-class appearances for the club before giving up the club captaincy and ended his playing career at the age of 32 in order to take up the coaching role.

The club has also confirmed Martyn Moxon, their director of cricket, is absent from work because of a "stress-related illness" and "will be given the necessary support".
