Adams sidelined with thumb injury

Sussex captain Chris Adams will miss next week's zonal group matches in the Benson and Hedges Cup with a broken thumb.

The former England batsman sustained the injury when he was hit on the right hand by a ball from Worcestershire pace bowler Alamgir Sheriyar on Friday.

Adams is expected to be out of action for a fortnight, starting with a Norwich Union League game against Worcestershire tomorrow and then five matches in the Benson and Hedges Cup.
