The news is another blow for his team ahead of the new county season.

Jade Dernbach, Freddie van den Bergh and all-rounder Zafar Ansari have also recently been sidelined.

Van den Bergh and Ansari have been recovering from thumb injuries.

Dernbach, meanwhile, sustained a stress fracture in his back during the winter and hopes to return to action later in the season.
