With the Pakistan Super League coming home, it presents the perfect opportunity to show our international guests some real hospitality and a true taste of the country. Alan Wilkins and Darren Ganga visited Wazir Khan Mosque and the Dehli Gate in Lahore and absolutely loved their experience.
Now, legendary batsman, Zaheer Khan hosted a dinner for all guests and colleagues where Zainab Abbas, one of our most passionate female sports journalist was also in attendance. Zainab has a huge fan following and is very well known in the cricket community. However, instead of applauding her exemplary journey up the ladder in a mostly male dominated field, Pakistanis had their eye on something else entirely.

She attened the dinner wearing an off the shoulder top and the ‘ghairat brigade’ jumped to our ‘rescue’, shaming the sports journalist for her ‘indecent attire.’ Her Twitter post was bombarded with comments that sought to slut-shame Zainab and they are seriously disappointing.

Good riddance?

Apparently Zainab Abbas wearing that top disgraced the entire nation on Pakistan Day??

And then there were those who just couldn’t fathom a woman becoming a sports reporter;

A lot of people did try their best to repel the haters and support Zainab;
