Ryan ten Doeschate requests exit from India assistant coach role
India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has asked to leave for personal reasons, but the BCCI and Gautam Gambhir haven't yet approved the request.
India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has asked to step down for personal reasons. The BCCI and head coach Gautam Gambhir haven't approved it yet, and no timeline's been set for a decision.
Ten Doeschate joined India's support staff earlier in this cycle. His exit request sits within broader questions about staff continuity under Gambhir — a coaching group that's already cycling through personnel. The BCCI will review it through formal channels, as it does with all such requests.
Before India, ten Doeschate worked across multiple international sides. If he leaves, it's another hole the BCCI will need to fill in the coaching structure.
CricHubb Take
The timing matters: with white-ball tournaments looming, losing a senior figure from the support staff mid-cycle suggests either real instability or that Gambhir's still assembling the right group around him. Neither looks great from outside.
