Former Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak passed away at the age of 49 after a battle with cancer. 

Streak's former teammate Henry Olonga was among the many who paid tribute to the legendary cricketer.

Olonga took to 'X', formerly Twitter to remember his fellow bowler, 'Sad news coming through that Heath Streak has crossed to the other side. RIP...' 

Streak was Zimbabwe's skipper from 2000 and 2004 and was regarded as the best all-rounder in the country's history, being the only Zimbabwean to take 100 Test wickets. 

He represented Zimbabwe in 65 Tests and 189 One-Day Internationals.
