In February 1993, Harvey made two appearances for England Under-19s against India Under-19s.[1] He later made his first-class debut for Lancashire against Gloucestershire at Old Trafford in the 1994 County Championship. He made a further first-class appearance in that season against Nottinghamshire in at Trent Bridge.[2] While attending university in 1995, he made a first-class appearance for the Combined Universities against the touring West Indians at the University Parks.[2] It was also in 1995 that he made his List A debut for the Combined Universities in the Benson & Hedges Cup against Gloucestershire.
