Gough heads to U.S. in bid to save career
Injured England fast bowler Darren Gough is to fly to the United States next week in a bid to salvage his career, the Daily Telegraph reported on Wednesday.
The newspaper said the 32-year-old, who has not played a Test match for more than a year and whose long-term knee problems ruled him out of the Ashes tour, plans to consult an American surgeon after three failed operations.
The Yorkshire player, who last featured for England in August 2001, has taken 228 wickets in 56 Tests and also played 111 one-day internationals.
Gough flew out to Australia with England for the five-Test Ashes series but was ruled out of the tour after failing to prove his fitness.
