Ten Doeschate resigns as India assistant coach to rejoin KKR
Ten Doeschate has stepped down from his role as an assistant coach with India and is expected to return to KKR. He informed the team's management of his decision while India were on their white-ball tour of the UK.
Doeschate had been serving as an assistant coach for India before announcing his departure. The decision was conveyed to India’s management during the white-ball tour of the UK, and plans are in place for him to rejoin KKR. No further personnel details have been disclosed by the Indian setup.
The message about Doeschate’s plans reached team officials while the squad was on UK duty, and that communication preceded any public announcement. The move signals a shift away from his responsibilities within the India coaching group that coincided with the ongoing white-ball schedule in the UK. At this stage, the focus within the Indian camp remains on the tour commitments rather than staffing adjustments.
Doeschate is set to rejoin KKR after leaving his post with India. The timing of his return to the franchise has been described as imminent, with his departure from the national staff already communicated internally. Those are the confirmed particulars surrounding the change.
Representatives of India’s management were notified directly about the resignation while the team was overseas, and the matter has not yet been addressed in a public statement by the board. There has been no announcement regarding any interim arrangements within the India coaching group to cover the duties Doeschate had been performing. The situation, as communicated to management, remains that he will leave his assistant coach role to re-enter the franchise environment.
From the information provided, Doeschate’s resignation was handled through internal channels during the white-ball tour of the UK, and his next destination is KKR. Further details, including any formalities or effective dates, have not been released.
Doeschate’s exit from the India staff and expected return to KKR closes this chapter of his involvement with the national setup. The matter will likely be clarified publicly when either the India management or KKR issues a formal statement.
