Puma Cricket Announces Sponsorship Deal With Ryan Burl; The All-Rounder Thanks His Fans For Their Support

In a heartwarming gesture, Puma Cricket, on Sunday, announced that it will be sponsoring Zimbabwe all-rounder Ryan Burl’s kits.

The move comes after Ryan Burl had taken to micro-blogging site Twitter on Saturday where he once again brought to the fore, the financial plight that cricketers in smaller countries face on a day-to-day basis.

“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 ” wrote Ryan Burl.
