Well he would certainly be on the radar of the AWs goal keeping coach, aka Dad!
Crocombe is probably unlucky, and it's a bugger Tzanev hasn’t changed his vax status. He offers something a bit different as almost a sweeper keeper, playing a high line it seems at the Dons.
For what it's worth Gould's (age 28) club Altrincham after 25 league games are 16th in the National League (English 5th tier). Gould has only been in goal for 3 of those league games. Also played a couple of FA Cup games.

Max Crocombe (also 28) is at Grimsby Town (10th) also in the National League. He's also been mostly warming the bench (6 starts only in 23 league games), but seems to have become the starting keeper at Grimsby of late, being in goal for their last 6 league games (Dec-Jan).

So Crocombe may have reason to be annoyed he has been overlooked for the AWs, or he may have made himself unavailable given he has only nailed down the starting spot at Grimsby recently, and doesn't want to jeopardise that. Noting National League is playing through FIFA window.
After all though Gould will no doubt enjoy his national team callup in the UAE (it may never happen again), he highly likely won't be getting any playing time, unless there is a Comoros Islands keeper situation! Woud will probably be between the sticks for both friendlies.
And Jamie Searle's (age 21) Swansea U23s are 8th of 9 teams, in their Professional Development League (South) comp. U23 teams of various EPL & Championship clubs. He certainly hasn't been in goal for all their games, but was for this one.
