<br />
Shujauddin Siddiqi was born in [[Delhi]]. He played in seven [[Ranji Trophy]] matches for [[Delhi cricket team|Delhi]] between 1939/40 and 1945/46, scoring 138 runs at a batting average of 12.54, and taking 12 wickets as a [[leg spinner]] at a bowling average of 28.75.<br />
<br />
He umpired one first-class match in March 1946, the Ranji Trophy semi-final between [[Southern Punjab cricket team (India)|Southern Punjab]] and [[Baroda cricket team|Baroda]]. After nearly four days of play, the match was tied - Southern Punjab scored 167 in their first innings, and Baroda replied with 106. After Southern Punjab's second innings of 146, Baroda were bowled out for 207. Baroda won a toss of a coin to decide which team should go forward to meet [[Holkar cricket team|Holkar]] in the final.<br />
<br />
He moved to Pakistan after [[Partition of India|independence]], where he continued to umpire in first-class matches, and also became a Test and [[One Day International|ODI]] umpire. He appeared in 22 Tests spread over near 24 years, all played in Pakistan. His first Test as umpire was the match between [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] and [[India national cricket team|India]] at [[Bahawalpur]] in January 1955. His last was also between Pakistan and India, at [[Karachi]] in November 1978. He stood in all three Tests in the [[Marylebone Cricket Club|MCC]] tour of Pakistan in 1968/9 which was marred by a series of riots. The final match, in Karachi, was abandoned during the third day due to crowd trouble, after [[England national cricket team|England]] reached an imposing total of 502 for 7. [[Alan Knott]] was stranded on 96*, four runs short of his maiden Test century, as rioting crowds stormed into the ground.<br />
<br />
He umpired one ODI match, between Pakistan and India in [[Quetta]] in 1978, standing with [[Mahboob Shah]].<br />
<br />
He died in [[Karachi]].<br />
