To represent Pakistan on a platform of this kind is a tremendous privilege. We’re attending Harvard’s BEMS program to gain knowledge from the most accomplished academics and professionals in the field, and to return home and teach others what we’ve learned. It’s going to be a thrilling ride, and I can’t wait to teach the next generation of cricket greats what I’ve learned,” said Rizwan.

“I am a student for life, and I have discussed the course in great depth with Professor Elberse and Rehmani. To connect, explore, listen, learn, develop, and contribute to the global community are the driving forces behind my decision to enroll in this exceptional Harvard program. Amazing sportsmen and top business leaders from the entertainment, media, and sports sectors are traveling from all over the world to attend, and Babar is confident that they will bring with them a wealth of knowledge.
