CRICKET: Australia's Ryan Harris Bids Farewell

Australia fast bowler Ryan Harris has retired from the sport because of a knee injury, dealing the tourists a major blow going into the Ashes.

Harris is replaced in the Australia squad by New South Wales' Pat Cummins. The 35-year-old missed Australia's final warm-up game at Essex before the first Test against England, which starts in Cardiff on 8 July.

Harris said: "I have had a wonderful career and nothing made me prouder than pulling on the Baggy Green."
