Victoria are looking to bring Peter Siddle back to his home state, reports Code Sports’ Daniel Cherny.
Hailing from Gippsland, Siddle played for Victoria between the 2005/06 season until the 2019/20 campaign before shifting to Tasmania.
Siddle’s move to Tassie came shortly after he stepped away from his international career and the 38-year-old has impressed for the Tigers across the last three seasons, taking 60 Shield wickets at an average of 24.46.
According to the report, Victoria are keen to bring Siddle back into the fold as their bowling attack has lost significant experience in recent years.
With Chris Tremain moving to NSW, James Pattinson retiring and Scott Boland often playing Test cricket, the Victorians are on the lookout for a senior bowler and Siddle fits the bill.
The 38-year-old took 221 Test wickets for Australia from 2008 to 2019 at an average of 30.66.
His First Class record for the likes of Victoria, Tasmania, Nottinghamshire, Lancashire, Essex and Somerset is an impressive 724 wickets at an average of 26.48.
