Ryan Neil ten Doeschate (Dutch pronunciation: ['t?n 'dusx??t?]; born 30 June 1980) is a Dutch–South African cricketer who has represented the Netherlands at both One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) level.
He has been named ICC Associate Player of the Year on a record three occasions, in 2008, 2010, and 2011.
Born and raised in South Africa, ten Doeschate signed with Essex CCC for the 2003 English season, qualifying under the Bosman ruling through his Dutch (and hence European Union) citizenship.
A right-handed all-rounder, he first represented the Dutch national team at the 2005 ICC Trophy, and has since played a number of other tournaments for the side, including the 2009 World Twenty20 and the 2011 World Cup.
At the latter tournament, ten Doeschate scored 119 runs against England, the first ODI century by a Dutch player against a full member of the ICC.
Ten Doeschate now lives in Loughton.
At domestic level, ten Doeschate first established himself as a regular for Essex during the 2006 season, and was named the team's limited-overs captain for the 2014 season.
He has also represented a number of professional Twenty20 sides in other countries, including franchises in Australia's KFC Twenty20 Big Bash, the Bangladesh Premier League, the Indian Premier League, New Zealand's HRV Twenty20, South Africa's MiWay T20 Challenge, and Zimbabwe's Stanbic Bank 20 Series.
