After a heartfelt tweet of Zimbabwe cricketer Ryan Burl, PUMA Cricket reached out to the cricketer and announced to become a sponsor. The cricketer announced on his official Twitter account, and PUMA cricket’s official Twitter handle later confirmed the sponsorship with a retweet.
Later, Ryan Burl, who plays for the Zimbabwe Cricket team, tweeted a picture of his ripped shoes being glued after playing a series. The player tweeted asking if they can get a sponsor because he’s tired of fixing his shoe again and again after every series.
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 pic.twitter.com/HH1hxzPC0m
