Cricket legend and ex-Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak passes away aged 49 after cancer battle
Heartfelt Condolences to his family, friends and fans.
Cricket legend and ex-Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak passed away aged 49 after cancer battle on Sunday.
‘In the early hours of this morning, Sunday, September 3rd, 2023, the greatest love of my life and father of my beautiful children, was carried to be with the angels from his home, where he wished to spend his last days surrounded by his family and closest loved ones,’ Nadine wrote on Facebook.
He scored 4,933 international runs, hitting a lone century against the West Indies in Harare, and took 445 wickets.
He was the first player from his country to take 100 wickets.
Streak served as the bowling coach of Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, and the IPL teams Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Lions after ending his playing career.
He also had been associated with Scotland and Somerset counties.
Heath Streak was probably one of the finest all rounders for Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

Sad to hear the passing away of #HeathStreak. He was a prominent figure in the rise of Zimbabwe cricket in the late 90’s and early 2000’s and very competetive.
