The 49-year-old is one of the biggest icons in Zimbabwean cricket history as he made his debut on November 10, 1993, against South Africa. During his illustrious career Streak played 65 Test matches and 189 ODIs. Heath scored 1990 runs in Test cricket at an average of 22.35 while he also snared 216 wickets at an average of 28.14. While he was one of the best all-rounders of his time in white-ball cricket with 2943 runs and 239 wickets to his name.
However, Streak was handed a 8-year ban in 2021 by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for corruption, and the 49-year-old apologised and took “full responsibility” for his actions.
