In an unexpected turn of events, Pakistani sports broadcaster Zainab Abbas abruptly departed India because she felt threatened. When difficulties began to develop, Zainab was working as a presenter for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
Vineet Jindal, an Indian lawyer, filed an official complaint against her. This complaint drew attention to specific previous tweets that had reappeared on the ‘X’ social media network (formerly known as Twitter).

Jindal stated that the previous tweets, made under “Zainablovesrk” roughly nine years ago, were disrespectful to Hindus.

Zainab Abbas is now in Dubai, distant from the cricket tournament in India. She vehemently denies any wrongdoing and claims that she has been unfairly persecuted. The issue surrounding her departure from India is centred mainly on her previous tweets and the complaint filed against her.
This circumstance has not only heightened emotions, but it has also created legitimate fears about her safety.
Zainab Abbas has defended herself in reaction to the charges and criticism. She claims her tweets from nine years ago should not be used to criticize her now. People develop and grow through time, and she feels her opinions have grown.
Zainab wishes to encourage togetherness and sportsmanship in cricket and life in general. We don’t know what will happen to Zainab Abbas and her involvement in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 while the dispute continues.
This competition is vital to cricket fans worldwide, and her absence has thrown a pall over it.
