Pakistani cricket presenter and sports journalist Zainab has become the first woman in the cricketing world, including the players, to reach 1million followers on Twitter.

She is the third person among non-cricketers, after Indian commentators Harsha Bhogle and Gaurav Kapoor, to achieve this milestone.

In a video message on her Twitter handle, Zainab thanked her “1 million family” and said: “It feels special from where I started and now have 1 million followers and I know not many people have this in the world of sports journalism.”

Zainab further said most important message she has is for all the women out there. “When I read a lot of messages from young girls and they say ask how can we become part of the world of sports journalism and please give us the right direction,” he said, adding this makes her feel special.

“I love all of you and keep supporting and keep loving my work.”
