London, Oct 06 (Online): Former England fast bowler Steve Harmison has announced its retirement from international cricket at the age of 34.
Details said, Harmison spent 17 years at Durham but did not play a first-team game in this summer's County Championship-winning campaign, and his contract has expired.
He took 222 wickets in 62 Tests for England at an average of 31.94 and played in 58 one-day internationals and two Twenty20s internationals.
Earlier, Andrew Flintoff quit the game in 2010 because of persistent injury problems and Harmison's regular new-ball partner for England, Matthew Hoggard, retired last month.
Harmison made his England debut against India at Trent Bridge in 2002 and also played for a World XI team in a Super Series Test against Australia in Sydney in October 2005, which counted towards his overall total of 63 Tests and 226 wickets.
