Former England fast bowler Steve Harmison has declared his interest in becoming the national team’s new selector, but fears his negative comments about the Hundred will hurt his chances of landing the role.

Earlier this month, Harmison said that the new format “hadn’t worked” and questioned the quality of the tournament.

Speaking exclusively to the Vaughany and Tuffers Cricket Club podcast, the ex-Durham quick confirmed his interest in becoming England's national selector while admitting fears that his outspoken comments could cost him the job.

“I’ve applied for it once before,” said Harmison. “But the way I’ve been throwing hand grenades at the ECB over the Hundred, I’m not sure I’d be welcome! I have not applied for it yet, but I am thinking hard about it. It is something that intrigues me.”
