ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: Zainab Abbas Deported from India, Relocates to Dubai

Pakistani sports presenter Zainab Abbas was deported from India on October 9, 2023, over "anti-India" tweets that resurfaced online. She was part of the ICC Digital Insider team for the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2023.

Abbas was detained by the Indian authorities on October 8 and deported the next day. The Indian government has not released any official statement on the matter.

Abbas has denied the allegations, saying that her tweets were taken out of context. She has also said that she was not given a chance to explain herself before she was deported.

The deportation of Abbas has been met with criticism from many, including the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the International Cricket Council (ICC). The PCB has called it a "unilateral and arbitrary" decision, while the ICC has said that it is "concerned" about the development.

Abbas has since relocated to Dubai. She has said that she is "disappointed" by the Indian government's decision, but that she is determined to continue her work as a sports presenter.
