The 35-year-old has been in limbo since his application for British citizenship was rejected by the Home Office because of a drink-driving offence in May.

The England and Wales Cricket Board have also refused to register him as a non-overseas player.

There was no action on day two of Derbyshire's Division Two match against Glamorgan because of rain.

Steady drizzle prevented play before lunch and, although it stopped for a while, another shower shortly before umpires Graham Burgess and Neil Mallender were due to inspect at 1600 GMT ended any hopes of resumption.

The County Ground had already taken a soaking on the opening day when storms prevented any play after lunch, with Glamorgan 69-3.
