Harmy could quit

Steve Harmison claims he would probably retire from cricket altogether if he felt the chance to regain his England place had gone.

The 29-year-old was dropped after a poor first Test on England's recent tour of New Zealand and his desire to play for his country was brought into question.

However, he told the Mail on Sunday: "The prospect of playing for England is what drives me and if I felt my chance of doing that was gone the probability is I'd retire from first-class cricket altogether."

He added: "This is not an ultimatum or me trying to impose conditions on anyone.

"But I am 29 now and if I felt my England career was over I would be tempted to say I want to do something different with my life."
