Heath Streak’s cricket career saw him participate in 65 Test matches and 189 ODIs for Zimbabwe, where he contributed with 1990 runs in Tests and 2943 runs in ODIs. Nevertheless, his remarkable skills as a bowler truly distinguished him, as he claimed 216 wickets in Test cricket and 239 wickets in ODIs, solidifying his status as Zimbabwe’s all-time leading wicket-taker in both formats.
Following his passing, Heath Streak’s wife, Nadine, shared a touching message on social media to honor the memory of her beloved husband. Taking to facebook, she wrote, “In the early hours of this morning, Sunday, September 3rd, 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.”
