Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting is on course for a Friday night Twenty20 date at Hove.
Ponting has signed a two-month deal with Surrey, for whom he will play in June and July.
Surrey come to Sussex for T20 action on June 28 and play the return the following Wednesday.
Ponting will be available for county action in all formats.
Sussex also have a Championship match at home to Chris Adams' men in June.
The veteran right-hander will be in England at the same time as Australia as they prepare for this summer's Ashes series.
