Zimbabwe cricketer Ryan Burl has been signed by Puma after his heart-rending post on social media for sponsors for the cricket kit.
“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 @PUMA,” Burl tweeted.
The 27-year-old has earlier tweeted an image of him applying glue on his shoes with quoting, “Any chance we can get a sponsor so we don’t have to glue our shoes back after every series @newbalance @NewBalance_SA @NBCricket @ICAssociation,” Burl said in the tweet.
Puma replied to Burl in a quote tweet saying: “Time to put the glue away, I got you covered @ryanburl3”
“I can’t wait to join the @pumacricket team! Thanks so much for reaching out,” said Burl in reply to Puma, and 10 minutes later, he tweeted that he has been taken on board.
