During this modern era of cricket, it is now very common that players opt to leave one country and go to another country and showcase their talent and finally play for that country in the International stages. So, add one more name in Siddharth Trivedi to the list.

Since the introduction of the Indian Premier League in 2008, cricket has developed a lot in India, and there are more than a dozen breakthrough stars coming through every year, and it is getting tough to make it to the Indian national team.

Recently we learned that former India Under 19 World Cup winner Smit Patel has retired from the Indian cricket scenes and is now looking for opportunities to play in either West Indies or the USA.

Siddharth Trivedi has become the latest edition of the long list of players who have left their respective nations to play the USA.

Siddharth Trivedi, the 38-year-old, will join United States Minor League Cricket franchise St Louis Americans. The former Rajasthan Royals bowler has reportedly been in the United States for about a month and is looking to take up a dual role as a player coach with the American Cricket Academy and Club (ACAC).

Siddharth Trivedi, the right-arm medium pacer, was born in Ahmadabad, Gujarat, on 4th September 1982. Trivedi made his first-class debut in the 2002-2003 season of domestic cricket.

He has very good numbers for his team in domestic cricket, but with heavy competition for a place in the Indian national cricket team, he has never made it to the team. And now, when he is 38-years-old, towards the end of his cricket career, he has finally decided to move to the United States for an opportunity.
