Sussex captain Michael Yardy will take another short break from cricket as his recovery from depression continues.
The 30-year-old spinner returned early from England's World Cup campaign because of the illness, but has been back in action with his county side since the start of May.
A statement from Sussex read: "Sussex CCC have confirmed that Michael Yardy will not be in the Sharks team for their match against Somerset (on Tuesday evening). After returning to first-team action in May, Michael has played a lot of cricket over the last six weeks and feels that a short break now will assist his continued recovery, and enable him to return to competitive action soon."
Yardy returned to England from India in March after revealing his struggles with depression and remained on the sidelines before making a low-profile return for Sussex a one-day match against Holland on May 2.
His last appearance was in Friday's Friends Life t20 match against Middlesex when he left the field prematurely, an action attributed to a groin problem by the county at the time.
Yardy remains a member of England's performance squad, though he has not played for his country since the World Cup.
