Major Blow for Team India! Coach Set to Resign After IND vs ENG ODI Series

Ryan ten Doeschate Team India assistant coach, is reportedly thinking about leaving one of the best cricket teams in the world. If the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and head coach Gautam Gambhir approve his request, this week could be his last with the squad. In that case, July 19, when India plays the third ODI against England at Lord's Cricket Ground, is likely to be his final day in the Indian dressing room.

As per multiple reports, Ten Doeschate has already informed the BCCI that he wants to step down and has asked the board to release him from his duties. It is understood that several factors have influenced his decision, but sources have made it clear that the move is not related to any unhappiness with his role. If Ryan Ten Doeschate resigns, then it is expected to be on good terms, with both sides agreeing to part ways without any issues.

Will Ryan Ten Doeschate Resign As Team India's Assistant Coach?

Reports suggest that Ten Doeschate's decision is completely based on personal reasons. With three young sons at home and his wife currently working, he wants to spend more time with his family in London. The demanding travel schedule that comes with India's coaching role has made it difficult to be with them regularly.

If Ryan ten Doeschate returns to franchise cricket, he is expected to attract plenty of interest because of his successful time with KKR and the valuable experience he has gained with the Indian team over the past two years. However, reports suggest he is not planning to make a quick decision about his next role.

The former Netherlands all-rounder joined India's support staff exactly two years ago, and reports suggest that his original BCCI contract has now come to an end. His deal is believed to have expired between July 12 and July 14. Since India is currently touring England, he could officially leave the team after the third and final ODI at Lord's.
