Darren Gough has been ruled out for the
rest of the summer after being sent for a third operation this year on his
troublesome right knee. Gough saw a specialist earlier this week after a two week rest period
and was still experiencing swelling and discomfort, prompting England to
order further keyhole surgery. It will rule him out of the remainder of this summer's Test series
against India and the ICC Champions Trophy tournament in Sri Lanka next
month, leaving the selectors needing to name a replacement for him by
August 15. Gough said: "This is a setback for me and it's going to be very
disappointing to miss so much cricket. "But I know that I can come back from this and at least I now have 11
weeks to concentrate on getting myself ready to have one last crack at the
Australians in the Ashes this winter." Gough has not played a Test match since last summer's final Test
against Australia at the Oval and since first sustaining the injury during
the final one-day international against New Zealand, has been restricted
to only four one-day internationals.
