Siddiqi was born at Islington in September 1959. He studied medical sciences and psychology at University College London, before proceeding to Hughes Hall at the University of Cambridge where he obtained his medical degree. While studying at Cambridge, he played first-class cricket for Cambridge University Cricket Club in 1984 and 1985, making seven appearances. Playing as an all-rounder in the Cambridge side, Siddiqi scored 219 runs at an average of 16.84; he made one half century, a score of 52.
