Iqbal Siddiqui {{audio|Iqbal_Siddiqui.ogg|pronunciation}} (born 26 December 1974) is an Indian cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler. Having made his debut for Maharashtra in the 1992-93 Ranji Trophy, Siddiqui's frame generates a considerable amount of pace. In spite of his low first-class batting average, he has also once scored a first class century.He played one Test in 2001, against England. England had gained a meager 5 run lead at the start of India's second innings.
