Siddiqi was born in Lahore, Pakistan.[1] He made his debut for the UAE at the 1998 ACC Trophy in Nepal,[2] and in his first match, against Thailand, scored 66 runs from 80 balls, featuring in a 206-run opening partnership with Saeed-al-Saffar.[3] He scored another half-century later in the tournament, top-scoring with 61 against Nepal.[4] Siddiqi remained in good form at the 2000 ACC Trophy, which the UAE hosted. He again scored two half-centuries, making 50 not out against the Maldives and 53 not out against Malaysia.[5][6]
At the 2001 ICC Trophy in Canada, Siddiqi featured in only two of the UAE's matches, against Canada and Scotland.[7] The following year, he represented the UAE at the Hong Kong International Sixes tournament.[2] Siddiqi's final international appearances came at the 2004 ICC Six Nations Challenge, which the UAE hosted and where matches held List A status.[8] He featured in four of his team's five matches, but had little success batting, scoring only 41 runs across his four innings. He had greater success as a bowler, however, taking five wickets including 3/30 against Namibia.[9]
