Gillespie stumps sponsors with vegan stance

Yorkshire are sponsored by Wensleydale Creamery, but that hasn't dissuaded Gillespie, who is a vegan, from revealing his opposition to the business. The 41-year-old former Australia pace bowler, who has led his team to two County Championship titles, made it clear he is prepared to stand by his opinions in an interview with the Yorkshire Post on Tuesday.
