Durham and England fast bowler Steve Harmison has been ruled out of the entire test series against India, as he is due to undergo surgery on a hernia.The operation will put him out of action for four to six weeks. He had hoped to delay surgery until the end of the season after he picked up the injury against the West Indies.Coach Peter Moores said,...."He's going to have the operation later today.""Unfortunately for him the hernia has come back and now it's all about getting it done as quickly as possible."Harmison, 28, will also miss Durham's Friends Provident Trophy final against Hampshire on August 18th.Chris Tremlett was yesterday named as his replacement in the thirteen-strong squad to face India in the first of three tests.
