England [ Images ] fast bowler Graham Onions [ Images ] believes teammate Steve Harmison [ Images ] should continue with his international career.

Harmison is still mulling over his Test future, after missing out on an ECB central contract last week.

 But the 2010/11 Ashes tour remains a huge lure, with the fast bowler feeling he has unfinished business Down Under.

He told SunSport: "I've not spoken to Harmy yet so I don't know how he's feeling.

"Some people say I've taken his place, but I don't see it like that.

"His challenge is to come back and I know he can. A player like him out of the team only shows how strong we are. I'm pretty sure he'll keep going though. I know there is talk he may retire from international cricket but I hope that's not the case."
