Heath Streak Not Dead! Henry Olonga Confirms Former Zimbabwe Cricket Team Captain is Alive, Terms Reports of His Death As Fake News

Former Zimbabwean cricketer Henry Olonga has put to rest the speculations surrounding the supposed demise of fellow cricketing legend Heath Streak. 

Hours after tweeting about Streak's death, Olonga shared that Streak is indeed alive and well, contradicting his earlier tweet.

In an attempt to clear the air and dispel any false information, Olonga took to Twitter to share the update. He stated, "I can confirm that rumours of the demise of Heath Streak have been greatly exaggerated. I just heard from him. The third umpire has called him back. He is very much alive folks."

"Sad news coming through that Heath Streak has crossed to the other side. RIP Zimbabwe cricket legend," Olonga had earlier posted on messaging platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

Alongside this reassuring message, Olonga also shared a screenshot of his recent conversation with Streak on WhatsApp. It is imperative to note that these conflicting reports may have caused confusion and concern among cricket enthusiasts.

The news of Streak's apparent death had spread rapidly, causing distress among fans and fellow cricketers alike. Nonetheless, with Olonga's update, the cloud of uncertainty surrounding Streak's well-being has been lifted.

Streak was one of Zimbabwe's most recognised players, appearing in 65 Tests and 189 ODIs, accumulating 4933 runs and collecting 455 wickets across all forms.

Streak is the first Zimbabwean player to have scored 1000 runs and taken 100 wickets in Tests, as well as 2000 runs and 2000 wickets in ODIs.

Streak's family had already stated that the legendary cricketer was battling illness and receiving 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."
