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]

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.

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] The following month he scored 17 off 12 balls as Jersey defeated Guernsey by two wickets in the 2024 Inter-Insular Trophy one-day match. [18] Later in September he was named in Jersey's 14-player squad for the 2024 Cricket World Cup Challenge League A in Kenya [19] and made his List A debut in the islanders' opening match against the hosts.
