Harmison, 30, is said to be tired of the treadmill and will apparently also quit one-day international cricket and Twenty20 internationals. Harmison follows best friend all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, who has already announced retirement from Test cricket post Ashes and will concentrate on playing for Durham rather than England, Daily Mirror reports. Though Harmison has 221 Test wickets, which puts him 11th on England's all-time list, he has been selected for only four of the last 20 Tests due to his increasingly indifferent form at the highest level. He remains in England's Ashes plans, however, and is almost certain to be included in a 13-man squad, to be announced Sunday, for the third Test at Edgbaston.London, July 25 (IANS) England fast bowler Steve Harmison will retire from Test cricket after the ongoing Ashes series.
