Zimbabwe cricket great Heath Streak has died after a battle with cancer. He was 49 years old.
The fast bowler was the first Zimbabwean player to take 100 test wickets, ultimately finishing his 65-test career with 216 to his name.
He also played 189 one-day internationals, taking 239 wickets. He sits seventh in Zimbabwe's all-time list of run scorers.
Former Zimbabwe teammate Henry Olonga took to social media to pay his respects to his country's "greatest allrounder".
"Sad news coming through that Heath Streak has crossed to the other side," wrote Olonga.
"RIP [Zimbabwe cricket] legend. The greatest all rounder we produced. It was a pleasure playing with you.
"See you on the other side when my bowling spell comes to an end.
Streak played a key role in leading Zimbabwe to their first away series win in 2001, blasting 79 runs off 67 balls in the decisive match at Eden Park to beat the Blackcaps 2-1.
After playing his final international in 2005, Streak transitioned into coaching. He spent two stints as Zimbabwe's national coach (2009-13, 2016-18) and also worked as a bowling coach with the IPL's Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018.
In 2021, he received an eight-year ban for breaching cricket's anti-corruption coach while in charge of the national team and as an assistant in the IPL.
