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.
In September, 2022 in an ODI at Townsville, Ryan Burl picked up 5/10 against the mighty Australians.
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.
