Ten Doeschate departs from India’s coaching staff

Ryan ten Doeschate has stepped down as India’s assistant coach, bringing an end to a two-year stint with the men’s team that began alongside Gautam Gambhir’s appointment as head coach in July 2024.

The Dutchman is understood to have formally tendered his resignation following the conclusion of India’s limited-overs tour of England last week, drawing the curtains on a tenure that saw him work across formats during a period of transition in Indian cricket.

Ten Doeschate was one of Gambhir’s two trusted appointments to the national team’s support staff, alongside bowling coach Morne Morkel. The former Netherlands all-rounder was entrusted with overseeing batting and fielding – with T. Dilip as the designated fielding coach – while also playing a key role in player management behind the scenes.
