Ryan Harris retired from professional cricket in 2015 due to a series of injuries.
After a successful career as a fast bowler for the Australian national cricket team, Ryan Harris decided to retire from all forms of cricket in July 2015. His decision was largely influenced by a chronic knee injury that plagued him throughout his career. Despite his talent and effectiveness on the field, Harris’s body could no longer withstand the rigors of the sport.
Harris made his Test debut for Australia in 2010 and quickly became known for his aggressive bowling and ability to swing the ball. He played a key role in Australia’s 5-0 Ashes series victory over England in 2013-2014. Throughout his career, he took 113 wickets in 27 Tests at an impressive average of 23.52, which is a testament to his skill and impact as a bowler.
Off the field, Harris has remained involved in cricket. After retiring, he took on coaching roles, including a stint as the bowling coach for the Australian cricket team. He has also worked with domestic teams, sharing his expertise and experience with the next generation of cricketers. His contributions to the sport have continued despite his retirement from playing, and he is respected for both his on-field achievements and his off-field mentorship.
