I am alive and well, says Heath Streak

Heath Streak

Legendary Zimbabwe cricketer Heath Streak is alive. The news of his death is a rumour.

Streak, 49, who battling with cancer of the liver told his writer on Wednesday morning from Zimbabwe. "It is a total rumour and a lie. I'm alive and well. I am very upset to learn that something as big as someone apparently passing can be spread unverified especially in our day and age of social media".

"I believe the source should apologise. I am hurt by the news," Streak said in a Whatsapp message.

Streak was earlier undergoing treatment in South Africa.

He also consulted three top oncologists in India.
