'I will definitely work in IPL if get an opportunity,' Zainab Abbas

Pakistan's renowned presenter Zainab Abbas said she would love to work in the Indian Premier League (IPL) if gets an opportunity. 

Speaking to a YouTube channel, Zainab said work relations should resume between India and Pakistan. 

"I don't think politics should dominate work relations between India and Pakistan, especially in sports," she said. 

"Sports bridge the gap between us. There shouldn't be any hindrance in sports activities between the two countries. We only interact in global events like ICC tournaments or Asia Cup. We need to keep politics aside," opined one of the finest presenters in world cricket right now. 

To a query about having the wish to work in IPL, she said it would be great. "I believe work should be taken as work only. If I get an opportunity, I will definitely go and work in IPL," she responded. 

"I think there should be no space for hate and negativity. I hope work relations resume between the two countries. India should come here and we go there to play cricket," she concluded. 

It must be noted here that Zainab has worked as a presenter in multiple ICC tournaments. She also represented Pakistan as a presenter in different leagues. 

Pakistan players participated in IPL only in its inaugural season in 2008. Since then, India haven't invited Pakistani players to its league. The two countries also haven't played bilateral since 2012-13. They only played against each other in ICC tournaments and Asia Cup.
