Former Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak has passed away at 49 after losing his battle against cancer. Streak's demise on Sunday was confirmed by his wife Nadine and comes nearly two weeks after reports of his death were denied by the former all-rounder himself, as well as by former Zimbabwe cricketer Henry Olonga.
"In the early hours of this morning, Sunday the 3rd of September 2023, the greatest love of my life and the 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.
"He was covered in love and peace and did not walk off the Park alone. Our souls are joined for eternity Streaky. Till I hold you again," wrote Nadine on her Facebook post.
