Notably, both cricketers have been enrolled in The Business of Entertainment, Media, and Sports (BEMS) programme of the university. Along with Babar and Rizwan, UFC Champion Francis Ngannou was also present in the class.

They are participating in the programme at the school’s campus in Boston, from May 31 to June 3. After that, the cricketers will also engage with other communities in the US after the programme till June 13.

Before Babar and Rizwan, the same course was taken by other sports personalities, including footballers Kaka, Edwin van der Sar, Gerard Pique, Oliver Kahn, NFL’s Brandon Marshall, NBA’s Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade and Major League Baseball’s Alex Rodriguez.

Babar and Rizwan expressed their gratitude

“It is a huge honour to represent Pakistan on such a prestigious global stage. We are going to the BEMS programme at Harvard to learn from the best of the best in the world – both in terms of faculty and programme 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,” Rizwan said a few days ago as quoted in The News.

“I am a lifelong learner and I have had detailed chats about this programme with Prof. Elberse and [Talha] Rehmani. My inspiration for joining this world-class programme at Harvard is to connect, explore, listen, learn, grow, and give back to the community worldwide. I am sure there are scores of things to learn from the amazing athletes and top business executives from the entertainment, media, and sports industries who are coming from corners of the world,” Babar said echoing similar thoughts
