NEW DELHI: Pakistani presenter Zainab Abbas on Tuesday left India because of ‘private causes’ after backlash on social media over her alleged previous anti-India posts.
Zainab was a part of the ICC digital staff protecting the ODI World Cup and was speculated to journey to the cities the place Pakistan was scheduled to play its World Cup matches.
The 35-year-old, who arrived in Hyderabad final week, was current in Pakistan’s match opener in opposition to Netherlands on October 6.
However, on Monday, Zainab left India from Hyderabad to Dubai.
As hypothesis on social media intensified over her departure from India in the course of the match, the ICC clarified that Zainab was not deported from the host nation and has left the nation because of private causes.
“Zainab has not been deported, she has left for personal reasons,” an ICC spokesperson advised PTI.
