The World Legends Pro League took place earlier this year in Goa, and Siddle was among the players involved.<\/p>\n<p>Under the ECB charter, cricketers who take part in tournaments not authorised by the relevant governing structure are barred from playing in England for a period of six months. On that basis, the 41-year-old\u2014currently representing Multan Sultans in the Pakistan Super League (PSL)\u2014is not expected to take part in the T20 Blast, where he was initially set to turn out for Notts Outlaws.<\/p>\n<h2>Nottinghamshire\u2019s earlier message and the later reports<\/h2>\n<p>Nottinghamshire had earlier put forward a different explanation. The county suggested that Siddle would miss the competition for personal reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Director of Cricket Mick Newell expressed disappointment at the time, saying the club had been looking forward to adding a player of Siddle\u2019s calibre and experience to its T20 squad for the summer.<\/p>\n<p>He also indicated that the franchise would shift attention to securing a replacement for the T20 Blast campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, major media outlets reported that the underlying explanation was not personal at all, but instead connected to the ban stemming from the unsanctioned league appearance.<\/p>\n<h2>Siddle\u2019s PSL form and broader career context<\/h2>\n<p>Even with the T20 Blast cloud, Siddle has been showing good form in the ongoing PSL. He has been bowling at a quick tempo, and the assessment from Pakistani coverage has highlighted that he is moving the ball at a pace that stands out even for fast-bowling standards.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond his own effectiveness, Siddle has also been praised for helping younger pace options within the side develop their skills.<\/p>\n<p>In international cricket, Siddle played 67 Tests, 20 ODIs, and 2 T20Is for Australia between 2008 and 2019. After retiring from international duty in 2019, he has continued to be active in both domestic cricket and franchise competitions, building an extensive body of work that keeps him valuable both as a player and as a mentor for emerging talent.<\/p>\n<h2>Other players affected<\/h2>\n<p>Siddle is not the only cricketer facing a ban of this nature. Former England spinner Samit Patel\u2014who represented England in 6 Tests, 36 ODIs, and 18 T20Is\u2014has also been banned for the same category of reason tied to participation in an unauthorised tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia speedster Peter Siddle is reportedly set to miss the upcoming T20 Blast after being ruled out by the competition\u2019s own
