Heath Streak, legendary Zimbabwe cricketer who also coached Bangladesh men’s national cricket team in the past, dies at the age of 49 after a prolonged cancer battle. Streak was one of the most decorated cricketers of his time, representing Zimbabwe in 65 Tests, 189 ODIs while scoring 4933 runs and taking 455 wickets for his country across formats. His family had earlier confirmed that Heath was battling cancer and undergoing treatment.
“Heath has cancer and is undergoing treatment under one of the most respected oncologists in South Africa,” his family said in a statement at the time.
“He remains in good spirits and will continue to fight this disease in a similar vein to that which his opponents faced during his revered days on the cricket field.”
