Sussex boosted by Panesar availability
11:24am Thursday 21st March 2013 in Sport By Steve Hollis
Monty Panesar will not miss any Sussex games at the start of the season
Sussex have been boosted by the news that Monty Panesar will not miss any of their early season games due to England commitments.
There had been fears England would want the left-arm spinner to rest ahead of the home Test series against New Zealand with Graeme Swann recovering from elbow surgery.
Swann is hopeful of being back in time to take on the Black Caps in May meaning Panesar is unlikely to be required by Alistair Cook's side.
Matt Prior will miss the opening Championship match against Yorkshire at Headingley but will be available for the game against Surrey at The Oval and Warwickshire at Hove. The wicketkeeper will also be able to play in the YB40 games against Northants and Worcestershire but will miss the game against Warwickshire as he links up with England.
