Zeeshan Siddiqui (cricketer)

Zeeshan Ahmed Siddiqui (born 22 July 1979) is an Omani cricketer. Born in Pakistan, he debuted for the Omani national side at the 2007 ACC Twenty20 Cup, and has since played regularly for the side, including at list-A and twenty20 level. Zeeshan is a leg-spinning all-rounder who often opens the batting.

Born in Karachi, Zeeshan made his debut for Oman aged 28, at the ACC Twenty20 Cup hosted by Kuwait in October 2007. He played in all six of Oman's matches in that tournament, including the final, where Oman tied with Afghanistan to claim its first ACC title in any format. Zeeshan's twelve wickets at the tournament, more than any other Omani, came at an average of 8.50, and included figures of 4/12 in the group match against Afghanistan, for which he was named man of the match. He also scored 128 runs, second only to Adnan Ilyas for Oman, and topscored with 34 against Malaysia.

Zeeshan made his list-A debut in November 2007, playing three matches at the 2007 World Cricket League Division Two tournament in Namibia. Against the United Arab Emirates in the tournament's final, he scored a maiden list-A half-century, 66 runs from 49 balls. After placing second in WCL Division Two, Oman qualified for the 2009 World Cup Qualifier in South Africa. At that tournament, Zeeshan scored 177 runs for Oman, second only to Farhan Khan, and scored another half-century, 50 runs against Scotland. His best bowling figures, 3/64, came in the same match, and he finished the tournament with eight wickets, behind only Tariq Hussain (11) and Hemal Mehta (9) for Oman.
