Australian broadcaster Erin Holland says she remains “rattled,” after being forced to flee Islamabad this week, as tensions continue to escalate between Pakistan and India over the Kashmir region.
Holland was in the country working as part of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
But due to the ongoing tensions, matches were suspended and moved to Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.

Now, safely in Dubai, Holland spoke to Weekend Sunrise on Saturday of her experience.
“We had a game three nights ago which went ahead without a glitch and then the next day we’d heard that there had been some escalating tensions,” Holland told hosts David Woiwod and Sally Bowrey.
“(After that) we kind of sat in limbo for 24 hours or so, not sure what was going to happen.
“If we were leaving, if we were continuing, we were eventually told that the PSL would move to Dubai.
“We were put on to a special chartered flight, which was organised for anyone who could basically get into Dubai without a visa or had a visa.
“So, for us Australians, that was wonderful news.
