Ramprakash worked with the national team since 2014 and recently focused on the Test format whereas Thorpe worked regularly with the ODI set-up.
The former England player was supposed to be on contract until the end of summer but he has been ousted ahead of schedule.
His last England assignment was the 2-1 series loss against Windies.
Ramprakash is the second senior member after Paul Farbrace of the backroom team to leave ahead of head coach Trevor Bayliss's departure in September.
