Manchester (England) September 15: England's T20I series decider against Australia was washed out Sunday without a ball being bowled at Old Trafford.

The series finished tied 1-1. The forecast never looked likely to allow for any meaningful play to take place in the third T20I and the umpires finally called the abandonment at 4:20 p.m. local time, almost two hours after the scheduled start. Jos Buttler Ruled Out of ENG vs AUS ODI Series 2024 Due to Calf Injury, Liam Livingstone Named Replacement; Harry Brook to Captain England.

Australia won the series opener by 28 runs at Southampton before England levelled the series with a three-wicket win at Cardiff.  The first of five one-day internationals between the teams starts Thursday at Trent Bridge.
