Big Breaking and DC Exclusive: Zimbabwe cricket legend Heath Streak alive

The news about legendary Zimbabwe cricketer Heath Streak's death was widely circulated even by the news agencies on Tuesday stating "after fighting a prolonged battle with cancer at the age of 49, he has passed away".

"It is a total rumour and lie. I'm alive and well", speaking exclusively over the telephone from Zimbabwe, he said to this Reporter.

"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 apologize. I am hurt by the news".

Streak was undergoing treatment in South Africa after being diagnosed with what friends and close ones described as colon and liver cancer.

Streak has targeted cancer Therapy drugs and he believes that there is still a long way to fight and reverse it.

He also consulted three top oncologists in India and all of them had recommended the same treatment plan.
