[12] In September 2019,during the first match of the 2019–20 Bangladesh Tri-Nation Series against Bangladesh,Burl scored the second most runs by a Zimbabwe batsman off one over in a T20I match,with 30 against Shakib Al Hasan. [13] [14]
In May 2021,he pointed out the harsh realities and daily struggles of an average Zimbabwean cricketer by posting a tweet in his official Twitter handle about his torn shoes and how he applies glue to his shoes to play cricket and also urged sponsorship for himself as well as fellow Zimbabwean players. [15] His tweet put him under some scrutiny after it exposed the flaws of Zimbabwe Cricket as it implied that Zimbabwe Cricket doesn't care about their players. Puma made a prompt response by agreeing to sponsor Ryan Burl's shoes. [16] [17]
In July 2022,he was named in Zimbabwe's squad for the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Global Qualifier B tournament which was held in Zimbabwe. [18] [19]
During the 15th over of Zimbabwe's innings against Bangladesh during the third and final match of the T20I series on 2 August 2022,which was also a decider with series already at 1-1,Burl smashed Nasum Ahmed's over for a record 34 runs including five sixes and a four to propel Zimbabwe to a total of 156/8 which they would later go on to defend successfully. [20] [21] Burl's 34 runs in an over is also the joint second most by any batsman in a single over of a T20I equalling with Tim Seifert and Ross Taylor's 34 runs rampage on Shivam Dube. He also added a crucial 79 run partnership in quick time with Luke Jongwe for the seventh wicket at a big run rate of 15.29 per over which lifted Zimbabwe from a precarious position of 67/6 to a respectable total of 156/8. [22] Burl was awarded the player of the match for his 28 ball 54 which powered Zimbabwe to a 10 run victory and sealed the series for the hosts 2-1. [23] It was also the first time Zimbabwe secured a home bilateral T20I series win against a full member nation. [24]
During the third and final ODI against Australia at Townsville on 3 September 2022,Burl picked up his maiden ODI five-wicket haul and he also registered his career best bowling performance in ODIs by taking 5/10 within a space of just 18 deliveries inside three overs which sparked a batting collapse by Australia as he cleaned up the Aussie tail by picking up the last five wickets of the Australian innings. [25] [26] His bowling performance restricted Australia to just 141 runs and helped Zimbabwe to register a famous historic win over Australia as it turned out to be Zimbabwe's first ever ODI win as well as their first ever win in any format against Australia on Australian soil. [27] [28] For his record breaking performances with the ball,he was awarded the player of the match. His figures of 5/10 are also the best bowling figures by a Zimbabwean bowler on Australian soil against Australia and also the second best bowling spell by a visiting legspinner on Australian soil behind Yuzvendra Chahal's spell of 6/42 in 2019. [29] [30] He also became the first Zimbabwean bowler to take a fifer against Australia in ODIs,surpassing the previous record held by Duncan Fletcher during the 1983 Cricket World Cup and he also registered the second best bowling figures for Zimbabwe in ODI history just behind Graeme Cremer's haul of 6/46 which came against Kenya in 2009. [31] His haul of 5 for 10 is also the cheapest five wicket haul taken by a bowler against Australia in ODIs surpassing the previous record held by Ravi Shastri.
He is set to play his next tournament at the ghansyam t10 leaguge hosted in Nairobi Kenya at sclp samaj grounds. [32]
