Ryan ten Doeschate requests exit from India assistant coach role
The former Netherlands all-rounder has asked the BCCI to leave after the England tour for personal reasons. Head coach Gautam Gambhir will have the final say.
India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has asked to step down after the England tour, citing personal reasons in his request to the BCCI. The move now awaits approval from head coach Gautam Gambhir.
Ten Doeschate joined the support staff before the 2024-25 season. His exit would leave a gap in India's coaching setup with major tournaments still to come this year.
CricHubb Take
If Gambhir approves the departure, India will be hunting for a replacement mid-cycle — potentially awkward timing with the World Test Championship and Champions Trophy looming. The real question: was ten Doeschate's role clearly defined, or are cracks already showing in Gambhir's support structure?
