LAHORE: Pakistan cricket team’s charismatic wicketkeeper-batsman and one of the nation’s most loved cricketers, Muhammad Rizwan, has announced a scholarship for up to 100,000 deserving students across Pakistan who are studying in matriculation and intermediate classes.

Earlier in the year Muhammad Rizwan, after winning ‘Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Year Award’ by the ICC and ‘Most Valuable Player Award’ by the PCB had announced to become the Brand Ambassador of Abwaab by taking the first step towards building a solid future for Pakistan.

Sharing his thoughts and motivation behind the scholarship, Muhammad Rizwan said: “I dedicate this scholarship to my grandfather who played a key role in making me become what I am today. He always focused on my education and with this scholarship we will be able to provide the highest quality education to 1 Lakh students across Pakistan through Abwaab’s platform. Abwaab is a game changer and I am honoured to be a part of this great journey.”

Students have been giving us extremely encouraging feedback and we intend to reach each and every corner of Pakistan. This partnership is the first step of doing that where we would be providing scholarships to 100,000 deserving students and thus starting the journey of unleashing the human potential of Pakistan.”
