It was due to be implemented in all Test matches from October 1 this year following approval from the International Cricket Council Board but India's decision to snub it for their series against Sri Lanka has set a precedent.

A Cricket South Africa spokesman confirmed on Tuesday it would not be used for the four-match campaign starting next month.

England were expecting technology to be used but the decision appears to have been taken by the home board in an echo of India's action on the matter.

Coach Andy Flower was due to discuss the issue with Hugh Morris, managing director England Cricket, this week but any talks now appear to be redundant.

"We are awaiting to hear from the ICC," said an England spokesman. "We came out here with the understanding that it would be in place for the Test series.

"Now this has happened with the series in India, it has thrown things out a little bit."
