Ryan Harris has retired from all forms of cricket after failing to overcome lingering injuries that have ruled him out of Australia’s Ashes tour.
According to the ABC, Harris made the decision to retire immediately after “scans revealed his knee injury had worsened from the original diagnosis”.

Harris had bowled 30 overs against English county side Kent and took four wickets.
However, the 35-year old missed the tour match against Essex and couldn’t recover.
Harris is heading back to Australia with Pat Cummins flying over to join the Ashes squad as a possible fast-bowling replacement option.
Despite threatening to be one of Australia’s finest pacemen, injuries sapped Harris’ career.
He retires having played 27 Tests, taking 113 scalps at a 23.52 average with 5 five-wickets in an innings performances, and was handy down the order, batting at 21.53.
