Shakib, who has played for Bangladesh for 19 years, told the selectors and the national cricket board (BCB) this week of his pending test retirement, and his immediate retirement from Twenty20s. He wants to continue in one-day internationals until the Champions Trophy in February in Pakistan.

The second test against India this week could be Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan's last in this format if he is denied a home farewell next month, the under-pressure player said in an abrupt announcement on Thursday.

Rohit Sharma has won the toss and sent Bangladesh in to bat in the second cricket test as India chases a series sweep. India won the first test in Chennai by 280 runs.

The man, who calls himself super fan Roby, was dressed in a tiger costume and sitting in stand C when the incident happened. An Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association official said Roby could not communicate the exact sequence of events but it was clear that he was in distress.

It is unclear as to what sparked the alleged assault and/or confrontation between Roby and Indian spectators. Police reportedly refuted the Bangladesh superfan's allegations
