Pakistan’s star player Muhammad Rizwan is currently in the United States of America (USA) alongside his teammate and captain, Babar Azam.
Babar and Rizwan recently became the first cricketers to partake in Harvard Business School’s executive education program, specifically focusing on The Business of Entertainment, Media, and Sports (BEMS). From May 31 to June 3, Babar and Rizwan attended classes at the illustrious Harvard Business School campus in Boston, Massachusetts.
Rizwan extended his stay in Boston even after the program concluded on Saturday, June 3. During this period, an incident involving Rizwan caught the attention of social media users, sparking a wide range of reactions from the people of different backgrounds. The video shows Rizwan offering Namaz (prayer) on the streets of Boston.
