Ryan Burl tweeted: Time to put glue away, Received sponsorship
Ryan Burl has tweeted to ask sponsorship for his shoes.
Zimbabwe cricketer, Ryan Burl’s tweet asking for sponsorship for his shoes clearly determines the condition of Zimbabwe cricket and the cricketers. National team player Ryan Burl took to Twitter to post an emotional plea regarding the absence of sponsorship. He shared an image of his shoes with some repairing equipment and stated that he has to glue his pair of shoes on his own because of a lack of funds.
Burl's and his fans' plea was heard as renowned sportswear brand 'Puma' came out in support of the cricketer and publicly announced that they have got him covered. The official account of 'Puma Cricket' retweeted Burl's plea and said: 'Time to put the glue away, I got you covered."
In response, Burl thanked the brand for reaching out to him: "I can't wait to join the @pumacricket team! Thanks so much for reaching out."
He made the deal official with another tweet in a couple of minutes. He wrote: "I am so proud to announce that I’ll be joining the @pumacricket team. This is all due to the help and support from the fans over the last 24 hours. I couldn’t be more grateful to you all. Thanks so much."
Zimbabwe has won only 6 ODI series with Bangladesh and Sri Lanka since 2010. Zimbabwe have only one Test series (in 2011), drawing four while losing the others.
