LONDON (Reuters) - Fast bowler Steve Harmison has come out of retirement from one-day internationals to replace the injured Ryan Sidebottom in the England squad for the series against South Africa, selectors said on Thursday.

Harmison was called up in time for Friday's opening day/night game at Headingley, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said in a statement.
