The PCB shared the news in a press release. “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.”

Babar and Rizwan will join the long list of celebrities and top sportspersons —
such as Kaka Edwin van der Sar, Gerard Piqué, Oliver Kahn, NFL’s Brandon
Marshall, NBA’s Miami Heat teammates Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, and Hollywood
A-listers including Channing Tatum and LL Cool J, Major League Baseball’s Alex

participated in the prestigious programme.

“The trio is representing Pakistan and the cricket world among a myriad of
global movers and shakers in sports, media, and entertainment,” the press

opportunity.

“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,” said Babar, the
top ODI batter in the world.

“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,” said Rizwan, the no.

“I am delighted to be able to welcome Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan to the
Harvard Business School and to the BEMS programme,” said Professor Anita

benefit greatly from their experiences as world-class athletes with a strong
interest in the business world.”
