Peter Siddle confirms his next state move after departing Tasmania

Peter Siddle has called time on his career with the Tasmania Tigers after announcing he’ll return home to play with Victoria.

On Friday the 38-year-old confirmed recent speculation he would return to his home state at the conclusion of the Tigers Sheffield Shield season.

The veteran pacemen took to Instagram to announce the decision.

“As the season comes to an end, so does my time with the Tasmania Tigers,” he said.

“I’ve had a wonderful time over the past 3 years and can’t thank them enough for the opportunity and support.

“It came at a tough time in my life but you all welcomed me and made me feel happy so thank you for that.

“My time down there will always hold a spot in my heart. I wish you all the best and see you boys soon.

“Now it’s time to run it back with Victoria Cricket. I can’t wait to come back home.”

The 67-Test great played 63 first-class, 36 one-day and 14 T20 matches for Victoria before his shock move to the Tigers ahead of the 2020-21 season.
