Gloucestershire chief executive, Will Brown,said that Benkenstein “worked hard throughout a challenging couple of years to create a new structure within the cricket department and to develop our squad of talented players”.
Brown said: “With Dale’s departure we will now start the process of recruiting for a head coach; allowing us to review and reset the requirements of the club moving into the new year.
“Everyone at Gloucestershire would like to thank Dale for his efforts in the role and wish him well for the future. The recruitment process for a replacement head coach will start immediately.”
