Former England fast bowler Stephen Harmison has joined Yorkshire on a month-long loan, his parent county announced on Saturday.

England on Friday called up Surrey pace bowler Jade Dernbach to their World Cup squad as a replacement for Ajmal Shahzad who was forced out of the tournament with a hamstring injury.

England fast bowler Ajmal Shahzad has been ruled out of the remainder of the World Cup with a recurrence of a left hamstring injury, a team spokesman said.

Fast bowler Ajmal Shahzad became the latest England player to fall ill on the eve of their crucial World Cup clash against the West Indies.

Ajmal Shahzad was ruled out on Wednesday of the England squad for the first Test against Pakistan, starting at Trent Bridge, with an ankle injury.

Ajmal Shahzad believes he is ready to make his mark for England if he is handed his Test debut against Bangladesh at Old Trafford this week.
