Agar’s partner was told he and his children would be killed if he played in Pakistan — despite not having any children. Australia has not toured since 1998 but has been persuaded by the extraordinary level of security to return for three Tests and a white ball series.

The Instagram account was being handled from India’s Gujarat state.
