da realbet： Heath Streak’s father insists his son never resigned or threatened to do so
06-Apr-2004The following is a statement issued by Denis Streak regarding Heath Streak’s dismissal by the Zimbabwe Cricket Union:As a father to Heath Streak, I am alarmed at the various press reportsregarding my son’s position with the Zimbabwe Cricket Union. My son himselfcannot make a statement as he considers himself bound by his contract withthe ZCU, which limits his ability to make any press statements.I am fully aware of the situation, as Heath has obviously discussed matterswith me. Heath, at no time, tendered or threatened to tender his resignationas captain or as a national player as alleged by the ZCU. All he said wasthat if his concerns were not addressed he would “consider possibleretirement from international cricket”.In the circumstances the ZCU, in my view, have acted unlawfully in terminating Heath’s position as captain and a member of the Zimbabwe national squad. I am aware that he is seeking legal advice regarding this issue and enjoys overwhelming support and encouragement from both his fellow players and the cricketing public in Zimbabwe.Denis Streak
