The Hindu Mahasabha has threatened protests, with reports suggesting a possible last-minute venue change. The T20I is scheduled to be played at the Madhavrao Scindia International Cricket Stadium in Gwalior on October 6. Mahasabha Vice President Dr Jaiveer Bharadwaj has stated that the right-wing group will oppose the match, citing the destruction of Hindu temples and violence against Hindus in Bangladesh. He has warned that the Mahasabha activists might attempt to damage the venue and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and cancel the match to prevent unrest. On social media, the hashtag #BoycottBangladeshCricket is trending, with many netizens urging the BCCI to cancel Bangladesh's tour of India. Last month, thousands of Hindus protested in Dhaka and Chattogram, demanding protection. The Bangladesh National Hindu Grand Alliance reported attacks and threats against the Hindu community in 278 locations across 48 districts since the fall of the Hasina-led government, describing it as an "assault on the Hindu religion.” Rishabh Pant returns to India squad Rishabh Pant, named in India's squad for the first Test against Bangladesh, is making a return to Test cricket after a severe car accident in December 2022. The 26-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman has impressed since his return to top-level cricket, including his role in India's T20 World Cup win in June. Pant's comeback to the five-day format has been described as "nothing short of a miracle," given his recovery from significant injuries. He will be part of a 16-member squad led by Rohit Sharma for the two-Test series against Bangladesh, starting September 19 in Chennai. Virat Kohli also returns to the Test team after missing the five matches against England at home due to the birth of his second child. Pant, who faced a damaged ligament in his right knee, a hurt wrist and ankle, and abrasions to his back, fought back after intensive rehabilitation. He led the Delhi Capitals in the IPL this year and will be joined in the squad by Dhruv Jurel as the second wicketkeeper. Senior batsman KL Rahul returns from injury, while fast bowler Mohammed Shami remains out with an injury, leaving the pace attack in the hands of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. Left-arm seamer Yash Dayal has received his maiden Test call-up, and Akash Deep retains his place. The spin department includes Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel. The two teams will play the second Test in Kanpur starting September 27, followed by three T20 internationals.
