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."
While Babar said that he has been a lifelong learner and had already detailed chats about the whole program. He said: "I am a lifelong learner and I have had detailed chats about this program with Prof. Elberse and Rehmani. My inspiration for joining this world-class program at Harvard is to connect, explore, listen, learn, grow, and give back to the community worldwide.
