Harmison quits ODIs, Vaughan returns

Harmison, who had planned to retire from ODIs after the World Cup, has brought the decision forward. Geraint Jones, who was not picked for the Champions Trophy, was left out again after a disappointing showing in the opening three Ashes Tests.

“After 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,” said Harmison.

“This 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,” Harmison added.
