Profile
A well-built, skiddy fast bowler, Ryan Harris graduated from Australia's Cricket Academy in 2002, and went on to represent South Australia for most of his domestic career, and was ultimately blessed with the opportunity to don national colours.
Making his first-class debut in 2001-02, Harris arrived as a surprisingly fast bowler who bowled at a menacing speed. His impressive figures of 8-140 against Western Australia in 2006-07 made him South Australia's leading wicket-taker in that season. He then went on to represent Queensland, before signing up with Sussex in county cricket, only to realize that he had breached the county's contract by signing as a local for the former. He then signed up to play for Yorkshire in 2010.
'Ryano' made his international debut in a one-day match against South Africa in 2009. Acting as a replacement in the side, he bowled brilliantly against Pakistan, which eventually led to his Test debut against New Zealand, a year later. His bowling figures in windy conditions were proof enough of his strike-power. Harris also played in the IPL in 2009, where he represented the eventual winners, Hyderabad. He was later bought by the Punjab in 2011. Harris made his T20I debut against the West Indies in 2010 and was also part of the 2010 World Twenty20 side, replacing the speedster, Brett Lee. However, injuries to the knee restricted his chances of a permanent spot in the national team, and he was consequently dropped in favour of other fit bowlers.
