Steve Harmison: 'I would like to see KP back in the team'

Former England fast bowler Steve Harmison says he "would like to see Kevin Pietersen back in the team".

After being told he won't feature for England again, Kevin Pietersen has announced he'll be heading to India to join the IPL's Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Harmison said England's director of cricket Andrew Strauss had to "weigh up the balance - will Kevin benefit the team? Will Kevin benefit the dressing room?"

"Time will tell," Harmison said, adding: "The proof will be in the pudding if England don't get the Ashes back or don't make strides forward when arguably one of the best players we've ever had is twiddling his thumbs in Surrey scoring lots of runs in first-class cricket".
