He made his debut for Maharashtra in the 1992-93Ranji Trophy.Siddiqui's frame generates a considerable amount of pace.

He played one Test in 2001, against England. England had gained a meager 5-run lead at the start of India's second innings. Captain Saurav Ganguly sent Siddiqui in to bat, even though his regular position was in the tail, and he hit the winning runs in his only ever Test match to date, a record he shares with Australian playerJeff Moss.[1]
