Ryan ten Doeschate's tenure as India's assistant coach has ended after two years, with ESPNcricinfo reporting he told the BCCI of his decision during the England tour. Having previously won IPL titles as a player and coach with Kolkata Knight Riders, he is expected to rejoin the franchise's coaching staff ahead of the next season.
The Indian coaching staff is set to undergo another change as as assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has ended his stint with team following the conclusion of the white-ball tour of England, bringing to a close a two-year association with the national team. The former Netherlands captain is expected to rejoin Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), where he is set to take up a coaching role.
According to an ESPNcricinfo report, ten Doeschate informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) of his decision while the team was still in the United Kingdom, shortly after India suffered defeats in both the T20I and ODI series against England. His departure comes at the end of his initial contract with the BCCI, which is understood to have concluded earlier this month after running from around July 2024 to mid-July 2026.
Ten Doeschate joined the Indian support staff after Gautam Gambhir succeeded Rahul Dravid as head coach in the aftermath of India's victorious 2024 T20 World Cup campaign. Regarded as one of Gambhir's trusted lieutenants, the former all-rounder worked across multiple areas of the setup, contributing to both the batting and fielding units as part of the team's coaching group.
During his tenure, India enjoyed notable success in white-ball cricket, lifting the 2025 Asia Cup before successfully defending the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in 2026. The Test side, however, endured a difficult period during the same phase. India relinquished the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on their tour of Australia before suffering successive home series defeats, including a 3-0 loss to New Zealand and a 2-0 defeat against South Africa, as the team navigated a transition in the longest format.
