Harare: Sportsgear brand Puma came up with a deal after Zimbabwean cricketer Ryan Burl posted an image of his worn-out shoes on Twitter, showing the plight of the national side.

The cricketer demanded for a sponsor for the national cricket side.

"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," he tweeted.

Puma came up to support the player and tweeted: "Time to put the glue away, I got you covered @ryanburl3."

The cricketer responded: " 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."

Zimbabwe was once considered as a strong force in the world of cricket.
