I’m alive and well: Streak

Just hours after Zimbabwe pacer Heath Streak’s death news, Streak’s old national teammate Henry Olonga said the story was false and “exaggerated.”

The cricket world collectively mourned the loss of Streak earlier on Wednesday, but a post on X, the social platform formerly known as Twitter, proved he was still with us.

“I can confirm that rumours of the demise of Heath Streak have been greatly exaggerated,” former cricketer Henry Olonga wrote.

“I just heard from him. The third umpire has called him back.

He is very much alive folks.

” Streak himself confirmed that the news was false and said he was upset after hearing the rumour and sought apologies.
