Siddle has been a workhorse for Australia and has often come up trumps in situations when the national team needed him the most. His fantastic debut in 2008 versus India at Mohali, where he picked up a five-wicket haul, and the hat-trick on his birthday versus England at Brisbane back in the 2010-11 Ashes, stand out in particular.

The 35-year-old played 67 Tests for Australia and expressed that winning the Ashes in England was a very special way to end his career as that was one of his main goals.

Siddle is going to continue playing franchise cricket for Adelaide Strikers and domestic cricket for Victoria, as well as for county side Essex. He just bowled a fantastic final over for the Strikers a couple of days ago to beat the Melbourne Stars, showing that he still has it in him to play cricket at a high level.

Australia will certainly miss a hard-working cricketer like Siddle, and his fans would be hoping he continues playing at the domestic level for a long time to come.
