Ryan ten Doeschate, a former all-rounder of The Netherlands, will be back at Kolkata Knight Riders as their fielding coach.

Ten Doeschate was a part of the Knight Riders’ team when they won the IPL in 2012 and 2014. He will succeed James Foster, who has been elevated to the assistant coach’s post.

“... We are very happy to welcome Tendo back to the KKR family in his role as fielding coach. Tendo played an important role as a player from 2011-14 and in the two championships KKR won in 2012 & 2014, and has been a genuine supporter of KKR all these years.

“These two appointments strengthen the support staff under the leadership of head coach Chandu (Chandrakant) Pandit,” KKR CEO Venky Mysore was quoted as saying in a release on Tuesday.

The Knights already have Abhishek Nayar as another assistant coach, Bharat Arun as the bowling coach and Omkar Salvi as an assistant bowling coach.
