Fast bowler Steve Harmison is no longer a viable option for England, according to the man he replaced in the Test team, Andrew Caddick.

The 29-year-old Durham player has struggled for form since England's 2005 Ashes success and was dropped for the second Test with New Zealand in March.

Caddick told BBC Radio 5 Live: "Does he want to play domestic cricket or work hard and play international cricket?

"The standard he is playing right now, he is not viable in the side."

Harmison, who retired from one-day internationals 18 months ago, has been roundly criticised in the last few months.
