Harris joined Warwickshire in 2006 under the Kolpak ruling before starting his five-day career against India, dismissing Sachin Tendulkar on debut.

In South Africa, he has played for Western Province, Northerns, Highveld Lions and Nashua Titans during a first-class career spanning 14 years.

Harris said: "I will be retiring from cricket at the end of the 2012/13 season. I would like to thank all the people who have helped me over my career.

"I am now going to enjoy being a Titans and Proteas supporter.”
