About Andrew Gale

Born 1983. Andrew Gale is a British cricketer.

Andrew William Gale (born 28 November 1983) is an English cricket coach and former first-class cricketer, who was first XI coach of Yorkshire County Cricket Club from 2016 to 2021. He also co-owns Pro Coach Cricket Academy, with his business partner Chris Brice, providing cricket coaching by professional cricketers.

Life and career Born in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, He became the youngest captain of the county in the post-war era. In January 2014 Gale extended his contract with Yorkshire until 2016. In 2014 he became the first Yorkshire captain to lift the LV County Championship for 13 years, and he won it again as captain the following year. Gale received a two-match ban in 2014 after accusations were made of him verbally abusing Lancashire batsman Ashwell Prince in September. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) referred the matter to the Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC), which imposed another suspension and ordered Gale to attend an anger management course. Prince accepted that he had been involved in time-wasting and whilst he didn't like Gale's tone and the way Gale spoke to him, did not detect any racism from Gale, making a point that it was the umpires who made the report, not himself.

At the end of the 2016 season, Gale retired from first-class cricket and became Yorkshire's first XI coach.

Yorkshire County Cricket Club racism scandal

In November 2021, he was suspended as Yorkshire head coach because of a racist slur tweeted in 2010. He was sacked by the club in December 2021 along with the Director of cricket and all other members of the coaching staff.

Personal life His brother-in-law is former Yorkshire and now Warwickshire cricketer Tim Bresnan.
