Alviro Petersen will miss Lancashire's final match of the 2016 season against Warwickshire at Edgbaston after returning home for personal reasons.
The South-African batsman is in the last year of a two-year contract at Old Trafford, although he does have the option of a third year, should he wish to accept it. Petersen has previously stated that staying with Lancashire for another year would be difficult for him and his family, as the former Test cricketer awaits the arrival of his second child.
Petersen has scored 1,134 runs in the County Championship this season and his form in the T20 Blast nearly earned Lancashire a place in the knockout stages, including a club record score of 103* against Leicestershire.
An 11-point draw against Warwickshire would guarantee Lancashire's first-division status, after a hard-fought draw with Division One leaders Middlesex at Old Trafford this week. Petersen has made nine fifties and three centuries this season in red-ball cricket, including a high score of 191 at Lord's.
