Lord's has been chosen to replace Cardiff as the venue for one of the Test matches between hosts England and West Indies in 2012.
The England and Wales Cricket Board made the decision after Glamorgan said they would be late paying the fee they owe for hosting May’s Sri Lanka Test.
The county is believed to have suffered a loss of 1.5 million pounds after the first Test was affected by rain.
Next year's match will be the 20th at Lord's between England and West Indies.
The dates for the West Indies tour will be announced later this year, but it is scheduled to take place in May and June consisting of three Tests, three one-day internationals and a Twenty20.
