Former Yorkshire captain Gough, 38, has been contacted about a move to the cash-rich competition, which runs its second season next April.

Gough, who retired from full-time action on the county scene last week, is to meet officials from the Twenty20 tournament next week and could follow Dimitri Mascarenhas, the one English representative in the first season, into the IPL.

"The IPL has always been an interest for me," Gough told BBC Sport. "I can still bowl, I've proved that this season, I still get a buzz from cricket and it would be nice to test myself at that level again.

"The IPL would be a great buzz for me and I need cricket to be a buzz. It's something I know I could do.

"Every single cricketer wants to play in the IPL and there's not so many places available this year."

That would suggest Gough is being viewed as a short-term fill-in as players come and go during the six-week event.

Gough has hinted that he could yet play 20-over cricket in England next summer.

He is also involved in setting up a cricket academy for youngsters in Abu Dhabi this winter.
