The lanky paceman, who became the man-of-the-match in the first Test in Dhaka with a nine-wicket haul, flew out of Chittagong yesterday on way to the capital after a hip and side injury forced him to pull out of the second Test.

It appears that the injury is much serious than initially thought and according to sources, the tall Durham fast bowler will be sent home. So, he will miss the three-match one-day international series against the Tigers.

The injury also casts a big question mark over the possibility of Harmison getting fit before England's tour of Sri Lanka next month.
