Former Australian cricketer Jason Gillespie suggested Peter Siddle could be a viable option for Australia's T20 World Cup 2026 squad if a seamer gets injured. Gillespie noted that T20 cricket often involves short-term thinking and situational adaptation. Siddle, 41, is currently the leading wicket-taker in the ongoing Big Bash League for the Melbourne Stars. He retired from international cricket in 2019, having taken 221 Test wickets.
