Should the article not be amended to refer to Heath, whom I personally know, as a 'former' Zimbabwian cricketeer. He resigned from the ZC, as Zimbabwe Cricket is presently known, in 2005, and has played no further games in Zimbabwe.--Jslasher 06:48, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note, but personally I'm happy with still calling him a Zimbabwean cricketer: after all, he's still Zimbabwean and still a cricketer. It does mention his international retirement in the article. Stephen Turner (Talk) 07:03, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He's not dead[edit]

Should it be added to his page that news of his death was reported and was proven to be false? Whitemancanjump23 (talk) 06:48, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Heath is alive, and despite being diagnosed with cancer, is more than capable of replying to false rumours about his passing. 120.144.131.166 (talk) 09:07, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Death : 3 September, 2023 27.147.190.162 (talk) 06:35, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. Very sad. Whitemancanjump23 (talk) 06:43, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
