The 29-year-old, from Abergavenny, suffered a knee injury during a World Cup qualification tournament in Bucharest.
Cross, who won two senior international caps five years ago, helped Great Britain to the Olympic runners-up spot behind Fiji at Rio 2016.
He has been replaced by Chris Smith, who featured for Wales in the Singapore and Vancouver legs of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series.
