Worcestershire's LV= County Championship match against Surrey on Wednesday has been moved back to New Road after the pitch was cleared of floodwater.
The match was initially moved to the Chester Road North Ground in Kidderminster because of water covering the outfield last week.
But the club confirmed that "due to the improved drainage facilities put in place after the last major flood in 2007, the ground and facilities were completely clear of flood water this afternoon".
The match is likely to be Kevin Pietersen's only county appearance of the season for Surrey.
The England batsman has returned from playing for Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League and the Worcestershire game is his only opportunity to play a first-class match before the first of three Tests against the West Indies at Lord's a week later.
