Ryan Harris desperate to continue international career

Ryan Harris insists that he is not prepared to call time on his international career with Australia.

Ryan Harris has insisted that he is focused on prolonging his international career after inspiring Australia to a series win over South Africa.

The seamer took the final two wickets to hand the tourists a 245-run win in the third Test on a dramatic final day in Cape Town on Wednesday.

Some reports have suggested that ongoing knee problems could cut the 34-year-old's career short, but he claims that he is not finished at the highest level yet.

"I'm bloody going to enjoy a break, I can tell you that," Harris told reporters. "But knowing that, it's going to take a lot of hard work to get up and going again.

"Coming into this series I was a little bit underdone fitness wise, I need a good pre-season to build up some strength.

"I want to keep playing here as long as I can - moments like today, there's nothing better."

Harris will undergo surgery on his knee when he returns to Australia.
