Event organiser, Alex Barton, of the Isle of Wight Cricket Board, was disappointed to have to make the late decision.
'After much consideration, we have made the decision to postpone the beach cricket tournament," she said.
"With rain and strong wind forecast throughout the day, we have no choice but to try to find an alternative date for the event, which we will publish as soon as possible.
"We are looking forward to some cricket on the beach, in the sunshine, very soon!'
