'Last desire' of former Zimbabwean legend Heath Streak will be granted by family

One of the best all-rounders in international cricket and former captain of Zimbabwean, Heath Streak, tragically passed away at the age of 49. Streak, who had liver and severe colon cancer, went away in the early hours of September 3rd.

According to the most recent information, John Rennie, a family representative and close friend, has confirmed that the former skipper’s ‘final desire’ was to have his ashes cremated. Additionally, he declared that the Bulawayo cemetery’s Mystique Gardens will have a private funeral on Thursday, September 7, and a public funeral on Friday, September 8.

“As you may be aware, he requested to be cremated, so there won’t be a body, no procession, and more of a service than a funeral. On Thursday (tomorrow), there will be a private family funeral, and on Friday, there will be a public funeral at Mystique Gardens in Bulawayo, where his former teammates and fishing buddies will attend. Rennie told NewsDay Sport, “Remember, he received his fishing colors for Zimbabwe, and many people will be there. You know he was kind-hearted.

All of us were drawn to that character like bees to honey: Family representative

In addition, John Rennie reminisced on his relationship with Heath Streak and how the latter spoke of the larger-than-life personality of the late cricketer while bridging the gaps between race, gender, and color. He also made the interesting comparison that Streak’s endearing demeanor was a lot like a bee’s attraction to honey. Rennie also praised the great for his unwavering devotion to Zimbabwe cricket, where he represented his nation despite suffering numerous injuries while playing.

He transcended everyone and everything, including color, race, gender, and even age. Everyone recognized him for the warmth and sincerity he possessed. He went beyond race, regardless of whether someone was a street beggar or a powerful billionaire like the majority of Indians. Like a bee to honey, we were all drawn to that personality, John Rennie remarked.

He was larger than life, the cricket team’s nerve center, and he was able to back that up with his on-field accomplishments. He also had a great sense of humor. Without the ability to put on remarkable performances, it is impossible to become the top Test player and all-rounder in the world. He bowled despite injuries on occasion because of his unwavering devotion to Zimbabwean cricket. I’m extremely sorry to see him go because he was just a great man,” he said in conclusion.
