Pakistani Sports Anchor Zainab Abbas Breaks Her Silence, Reveals Why She Left India Abruptly

Pakistan’s sports anchor Zainab Abbas has finally broken her silence. Zainab Abbas asked why she suddenly left India in the middle of the World Cup. Let us tell you that recently Pakistan’s sports anchor Zainab Abbas was forced to leave India and return to her country in the middle of the World Cup 2023. There was controversy over Pakistan TV anchor Zainab Abbas leaving India for the ICC digital team to cover the World Cup 2023 in India. It is believed that he left the country on Monday after a controversy over alleged anti-India posts on social media in the past. However, the game’s governing body International Cricket Council (ICC), claimed that Zainab had left India due to personal reasons.

Zainab Abbas herself has now shared a long post making a big disclosure on her social media handle (X). Zainab Abbas wrote on her social media handle (X), ‘I have always considered myself very lucky for the opportunities related to my favorite sports. This would have been a big opportunity for me. I was neither asked to leave India nor was I deported.

Zainab Abbas said, ‘There was no threat to my safety, but my family and friends on both sides of the border were worried. I needed some space and time to reflect on what had happened. I understand the hurt caused by the posts that were circulated. I am deeply sorry for this. There is no excuse or place for such language. I sincerely apologize to anyone who was hurt by that.

35-year-old Zainab Abbas was present at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad during Pakistan’s first World Cup match against the Netherlands on October 6. When Zainab announced on her ‘X’ account that she would be covering the World Cup for ICC in India, some of the past posts on the unverified ‘X’ account in her name went viral. A case of making indecent comments on Hindu Gods and Goddesses in the posts of Zainab Abbas came to light. After speculations intensified on social media about her departure from India in the middle of the tournament, the ICC clarified that Zainab had not been expelled from the host country.
