Surrey have strengthened their bowling attack ahead of the new season by signing West Indies international Ravi Rampaul.
However, the county have also confirmed that England limited-overs international paceman Jade Dernbach is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
A statement on the Surrey website read: "Following a scan on his injured back earlier this week, Jade Dernbach is due to have more diagnostic testing in six weeks' time.
"It is then hoped that he will return to cricket specific rehabilitation."
Surrey have signed young South African pacemen Conor McKerr and Mathew Pillans in recent weeks and have now acquired the experienced Rampaul.
The 31-year-old has played 18 Tests, 92 one-day internationals and 23 Twenty20 internationals for the West Indies.
Director of cricket Alec Stewart said: "Ravi will add experience to our seam bowling attack and we look forward to him joining the squad."
