Following rumors of a request to file a prosecution against the Pakistani journalist and fake information regarding her social media activities, World Cup 2023 presenter Zainab Abbas has left India.
An ICC representative acknowledged that the broadcaster had left the country for “personal reasons” and denied allegations that she had been deported.
According to reports, an Indian attorney had gone to the police to file a complaint against Abbas for allegedly making words disparaging India and Hinduism.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Abbas would be one of the World Cup presenters this year. When the news of the trip to India was announced, the presenter was incredibly excited.
The presenter declared on X, now known as Twitter, that she was “humbled” by the prospect of joining the stellar lineup of pundits and presenters for the huge event.
The speaker claimed that she was constantly curious to learn more about India.
Although India and Pakistan are neighbors, there aren’t many cultural interactions because of the two nations’ tense relations.
“There was always intrigue on what lies on the other side, more cultural similarities than differences, rivals on the field but camaraderie off the field, the same language and love for art and a country with a billion people, here to represent, to create content & bring in expertise from the best in the business,” Zainab said.
The presenter stated that she felt honored to perform as an ICC presenter once more during the World Cup in India.
“A journey away from home of 6 weeks starts now,” she stated.
In spite of repeated requests from the Pakistan Cricket Board, India has not yet issued visas to Pakistani supporters and journalists.
