England's Twenty20 international against South Africa was washed out by heavy rain at Chester-le-Street.
Match referee Roshan Mahanama decided to call off the match 24 hours in advance after consulting Riverside ground staff and talking to both teams.
The cancellation means that England will not get the chance to play a Twenty20 contest before the £10m match against the Stanford All Stars in Antigua on November 1.
