A sell-out crowd of 10,000 at the Rose Bowl went home without seeing a single ball after heavy downpours put paid to any chance of play.
Shane Warne was a surprise omission from the Hampshire line-up in the Twenty20 washout against Sussex after being granted a two-week break.
Cricket Australia asked Hampshire for the special dispensation, granted by chairman Rod Bransgrove, to give his club captain a rest ahead of the Ashes.
Bransgrove said: "Cricket Australia have asked before for him to take a break but he chose not to.
"He has bowled more than we expected. I'm happy for him to take a break."

There was time for the toss, however, which was won by Sussex who elected to bowl first.
Hampshire named a side without skipper Shane Warne in it and were all ready to hand a debut to Basingstoke-born 18-year-old batsman Mitchell Stokes.
