Surrey have signed South Africa Test opener Dean Elgar as their overseas player for the next 10 days.
Elgar will be available for the Championship Division Two game at Derbyshire that starts on Sunday.
Surrey director of cricket Alec Stewart told the club website: “Following Moises Henriques' injury and with Kumar Sangakkara currently playing for Sri Lanka, it is greatly appreciated that Cricket South Africa have allowed Dean Elgar to play for us before he joins up with the Test team for their tour of Bangladesh.”
Elgar made his Test debut against Australia in November 2012 and has since scored 753 runs in 15 Tests at 37.65, including three centuries.
He also had a spell with Somerset in 2013.
