Zimbabwe cricketer Ryan Burl seeks shoe sponsor on Twitter

Cricket is a game that can show you two sides of a coin. There are the players who earn millions of bucks every year and lead an extremely lavish lifestyle. These are players who have accumulated wealth by representing their nation as well as various leagues across the world.

But then, there is the other side as well. Cricket has not been so kind to many cricketers. And, there is a tweet put out by Ryan Burl that will surely melt the heart of a cricket fan.

Zimbabwe cricketer Ryan Burl has posted a tweet with some shoes and has asked whether anyone would be willing to sponsor shoes for the Zimbabwe cricket team so that the players would not have to glue the shoes back every time after a series gets over.

“Any chance we can get a sponsor so we don’t have to glue our shoes back after every series,” tweeted Burl.
