Former Australian pacer Peter Siddle has lost his contract with Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club after being banned for six months due to his participation in the World Legends Pro League held in Goa, India. The International Cricket Council (ICC) regulations prohibit players from competing in disapproved tournaments, leading to sanctions that can range from six to twelve months. Nottinghamshire confirmed Siddle's absence from the team for the 2026 Vitality Blast season, expressing disappointment as they were looking forward to having his experience in their T20 squad. The club's director of cricket, Mick Newell, stated that they will now seek a replacement for the upcoming competition. This incident raises questions about the ICC's stringent rules and their implications for players participating in non-sanctioned events.
