Career

Having previously represented Jersey at under-19s level[1][6] and played for Durham University,[3] Gouge made his senior international debut for the island against Denmark at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier tournament in Edinburgh, Scotland, on 28 July 2023.[7]

On 2 September 2023, he made a score of 14 opening the batting as Jersey beat Guernsey by 173 runs in the Inter-Insular 50-over match.[8][9]

Later that month, he was part of the Jersey squad which won their group to reach finals week at the T10 2023 European Cricket Championship in Málaga, Spain,[10] hitting 50 in the island's match against Bulgaria.[11]

Gouge scored his maiden T20I half-century in the first match of a double-header with Spain on 14 April 2024. Opening the batting, he hit 52 runs off 38 balls before continuing his good form into the second game of the event, held at La Manga, Cartagena, Spain, by bludgeoning 48 from just 27 deliveries.[12][13][14]

He was among the 14-man squad named for the 2024–25 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier to be held in Germany in July 2024.[15] Gouge kept wicket in the opening match against Serbia and carried out his first international stumping.[16]

Gouge was selected in the Jersey squad to face the Zimbabwe A Under-25 team in two one-day matches at New Farnley Cricket Club in Yorkshire, England, in August 2024.[17]
