He captioned the picture of him posing with fellow Harvardians and an instructor at the elite institution while stating this.

He captioned the picture, “When champions like @francis_ngannou, @USMAN84kg, and @jaboowins vouching to play cricket, maybe it is time for @iMRizwanPak and me to join another sport. Thoughts?” Notably, Francis Ngannou is an MMA Heavyweight champion, Jameis Winston is an American footballer and Kamaru Usman is a martial artist.

It’s a huge honour: Mohammed Rizwan

He said, “It is a huge honour to represent Pakistan on such a prestigious global stage. We are going to the BEMS program at Harvard to learn from the best of the best in the world — both in terms of faculty and program fellows — 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.”
