One of the most popular cricketers to come out of Zimbabwe and their former captain Heath Streak succumbed to cancer at the age of 49 on September 3, 2023. He is also the only cricketer from the country to complete the double of 100 Test wickets and 1000 Test runs and the only one from the country to score 2000 runs and claim 200 wickets in ODIs.

During his Zimbabwe career, which spanned from 1993 to 2005, Streak took 216 Test and 239 ODI wickets. Streak went on to coach several international teams, including Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, as well as several Indian Premier League teams, including Kolkata Knight Riders and the now-defunct Rajkot franchise.
