His nickname is the "Freak" as he has the knack to make things happen in the game with his fielding, batting or bowling. Ian started his first class cricket career with Victoria in the Sheffield Shield in 1993 as an all-rounder. He was called up to the Australian One Day cricket team in 1997 and has played 73 one day internationals. Harvey is a big hitting late order batsman who bowls tightly at the end of games but has yet hit a ODI half century. He appeared for Australia in the 2003 World Cup in Southern Africa as a replacement for Shane Watson.

Harvey also scored the very first Twenty20 cricket century in 2003, for Gloucestershire. In 2004 he switched counties to play for Yorkshire.
