| Babar and Rizwan at Harvard Business School: 'You have sat down to study by focusing on cricket |
Notes, books, and stationery scattered around, reading notes while lying on the sofa and studying while sitting on the floor.
These are the scenes of a group study in any university hostel or a room at a friend's house that you must have experienced at one time or another.
The same experience was recalled last night by a photo of two friends who are currently studying at Harvard Business School.
These two Pakistanis are none other than Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, who are ranked first and second in the ICC T20 rankings.
In a picture posted by Babar Azam on social media, it can be seen that the two players are apparently scattered with notes around and Babar Azam is studying while lying on the sofa while Rizwan is sitting on the ground.
America's Harvard University has a great reputation worldwide and many students dream of getting admission to this university.
The popularity of Harvard University can also be estimated from the fact that it is also used in the common language in Pakistan, i.e. it is seen as an honor for students in schools, and colleges to reach Harvard.
