It will be an exciting journey- Mohammad Rizwan on going to Harvard University

“We are going to Harvard to learn from the best in the world and at the same time to share our journey and learnings with everyone. I am certain that this will be an exciting journey, and I look forward to sharing our learning and experiences with the next superstars of the cricket world.” Rizwan added. The two have been Pakistan’s shining stars with the bat in recent times. In T20 cricket they both have opened the innings together many times.

Along with Babar and Rizwan, their mentor Talha Rehmani, who is the founder and CEO of Saya Corporation, enrolled on the programme. “Harvard beckons Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and mentor Talha Rehmani for the prestigious program. The world number one ranked ODI batter and Captain of the Pakistan cricket team Babar Azam and wicketkeeper Muhammad Rizwan, the Vice Captain of the Pakistan test cricket team, are the first cricketers to join the Harvard Business School’s executive education program, on The Business of Entertainment, Media, and Sports (BEMS), with their mentor, the Saya Corporation Founder and CEO, Talha Rehmani,” the University said.
