Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Despite being such a prodigy, Burl initially opted to move to Southampton for university studies. However, he ditched his education and a chance at English county cricket to return to Zimbabwe when he got a first class cricket contract back home, citing his love and patriotism for the country.
Ryan Burl made his debut against Afghanistan in February, 2017. Burl's career has been hit by some serious injuries, he dislocated his shoulder playing in a league match in England and was out of cricket for a long time. In Zimbabwe's tour of Sri Lanka, Ryan Burl had to be hospitalised due to an allergic reaction to fish.
An outspoken and brave cricketer, Burl called out the financial struggles of playing for Zimbabwe in May 2021 when he posted a picture showing his torn and worn out shoes, and how the players had to glue them together and couldn’t afford new ones because of no sponsors. The tweet grabbed a few headlines, and the sports apparel company Puma rushed in to become new shoe sponsors for Zimbabwe and Burl.
Burl’s finest moment for Zimbabwe came in September, 2022 in an ODI at Townsville, where he picked up 5/10 against the mighty Australians. He bowled three maidens in his spell and registered the second best figures for a visiting spinner Down Under, as Zimbabwe claimed a memorable away victory against Australia. In the last couple of years, Ryan Burl has been a regular member of Zimbabwe’s white ball setup, and also gained a few lucrative franchise contracts. He’s a handy lower order tonker and can be useful with his leg spin as well, augmenting his overall value to the team.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Ryan Burl liked playing squash when he was at school, but his love of cricket - specifically, the team game's camaraderie - made him want to be an international cricketer. A left-hand lower-middle-order batter and occasional legspinner, Burl broke into the Zimbabwe side in 2017, and has also played in the BPL and Afghanistan's Shpageeza Cricket League.
Sports-mad Burl studied at Peterhouse Boys School outside of Harare, which has produced England internationals Gary Ballance and the Currans, Sam and Tom; Italian rugby star Sebastian Negri; and Olympic rower Peter Purcell-Gilpin. Burl made his Zimbabwe U-17 and U-19 debuts within a month of each other in 2010-11, and his first-class debut, for Mashonaland Eagles, in 2014; in his second match of the Logan Cup that season, he made 92 and 66.
A century and two fifties against Afghanistan A in January 2017 paved the way for his ODI debut the following month, against the senior Afghanistan side. By the end of that year, he would also make his Test debut against South Africa.
The following year there came another batting high in the Logan Cup: 134 and 72 not out in a match against Mashonaland Eagles, which capped a run that started in April that year, during which he produced six scores of over 50 in five games, two of them hundreds. In mid-2019, Burl's batting in international white-ball cricket seemed to kick into a higher, more consistent, gear. He hit a 28-ball 54 in a T20I series-winning effort against Bangladesh in 2022. A month later, Burl, a part-time legspinner, starred in Zimbabwe's first win in any format in Australia, taking 5 for 10 in three overs in an ODI in Townsville.
