Former England seamer Steve Harmison has joined Yorkshire on loan for a month from Durham following a tough start to the season for the 33-year-old.

Harmison has not made many appearances for the Durham first team so far this season and has joined Yorkshire in the hope of first-XI cricket.

Speaking to Durham's official website, Harmison said: "I'm pleased that I can be helpful to Yorkshire at this point, when they are struggling with their senior bowlers, and I'm looking forward to our first game on Wednesday.

"It's been a frustrating first half of the season and I don't want to be playing second team cricket."

Harmison has played 63 Test matches for England.
