Ottis Gibson, Younis Khan and Allan Donald have reportedly been identified as the front-runners to form Yorkshire 's brand-new coaching team.
The county sacked their entire staff back in December in the wake of the Azeem Rafiq racism scandal, with previous head coach Andrew Gale already suspended pending an investigation into a historic anti-semitic tweet.
Gibson recently decided not to renew his contract as Bangladesh's fast-bowling coach and, according to a report from the Telegraph, he is 'likely' to be named as Yorkshire's new head coach.
The 52-year-old has considerable coaching pedigree, having been head coach of South Africa and the West Indies and enjoyed two stints as England bowling coach.
The report adds that former Pakistan batter Khan and ex-South Africa quick Donald could join Gibson as part of a star-studded coaching set-up.
Khan, who spent the 2007 season as Yorkshire's overseas player, left his role as Pakistan's batting coach in June and would bring a wealth of experience.
Donald, meanwhile, has previously coached Warwickshire and Kent and was recently named head coach of the Knights franchise in his native South Africa.
Currently, Yorkshire have an interim coaching team in place to oversee their pre-season preparation.
Tim Boon has been tasked with leading training, with support from Ryan Sidebottom, Steve Harmison, Cookie Patel, Paul Shaw, Martin Speight and Richard Waite.
Yorkshire's new chairman Lord Patel said: "There is a lot of work to be done to ensure that Yorkshire County Cricket Club is a Club for everyone.
"We are committed to fostering excellence throughout the team, and we need people at the Club who believe in the process we are undertaking and want to be part of it.
"The roles we are advertising will play a crucial part in the development of an inclusive and welcoming culture that learns from the past and welcomes progress.
"We want to attract the very best applications from a range of backgrounds to join us, and I look forward to meeting with potential candidates over the coming weeks."
