Ed Giddins, sacked by Sussex after failing a drugs test two years ago, plays against his old team-mates in a specially arranged benefit match for Peter Moores at Hove on July 6. Warwickshire fast bowler Giddins lines up in a former Sussex XI against the current county team in aid of Moores, the long-serving wicketkeeper. Former captain Alan Wells, batsman Martin Speight, leg spinner Ian Salisbury and all-rounder Danny Law, who all left Sussex in the exodus from Hove two years ago, also return.

Essex all-rounder Stuart Law will have surgery on a shoulder injury at the end of the championship season in an attempt to reclaim a place in Australia's team for next year's World Cup.

Law has told Queensland Cricket officials he expects to have an operation before advancing his national one-day team claims in the Sheffield Shield competition with Queensland later this year.

The state association said today that Law, 29, expected to miss some of the Australian pre-season upon his return from Essex where he is leading the batting averages with 48.18. Law lost his place in the pecking order for the international one-dayers last Australian summer when a wrist injury sidelined him for a month.
