Taylor was Sussex's T20 Blast overseas player and captain.

Head coach, Mark Davis, said: "It's a blow to us to lose Ross. However, that gives somebody else an opportunity to represent the club in a very important game on Friday night.

"We wish Ross and his family all the best."

A decision has not yet been taken on whether Taylor will return to the club should the side qualify for next week's Blast quarter finals.
