England fast bowler Steve Harmison announced his retirement from one-day international cricket on this day in 2006.<\/p>\n

Harmison had always intended to retire from one-day international cricket after the 2007 World Cup but brought the decision forward after not being included in the 16-man squad to compete in the New Year triangular tournament with Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter careful consideration and having taken advice from several people who have been close to me throughout my career, I have decided to retire from one-day International cricket with immediate effect,\u201d the then 28-year-old said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been a difficult decision but I want to play at the highest level for as long as I can and believe that concentrating solely on Test cricket is the best way forward for me during the next phase of what will hopefully be a long England career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harmison made his ODI debut in December 2002 in a 43-run victory over Sri Lanka in Brisbane, claiming the prized wicket of Kumar Sangakkara as the first of 76 scalps in 58 ODIs.<\/p>\n

He announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in October 2013 at the end of Durham\u2019s title-winning season, saying he had delayed his announcement so as not to take any of the attention away from his county\u2019s achievement.<\/p>\n
