PHIL SALT is not expected to return to action for Sussex until next month following hand surgery.
The in-form opening batsman was operated on last Friday.
He misses this week's Specsavers County Championship match against Gloucestershire at Arundel and is unlikely to figure before July.
Bowler Danny Briggs replaces Salt in the only change to the squad which won at Lord's against Middlesex.
