A troop of monkeys caused chaos in the stand at a practice Test match between India and Bangladesh.

Footage shows the animals scurrying around the white tent canopy at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, on September 25.

The cricketers practicing for their upcoming second game appeared unaware of the monkey activity above them.

Some primates, with babies clinging to them, scampered about in search of morsels.

While stadium officials are reportedly aware of the situation, it remains unclear what steps, if any, have been taken to address the issue.

As fans prepare for the game starting on Friday, the presence of these mischievous monkeys may pose an unexpected challenge.

The second and final Test of the series, in which India leads 1-0 after a 280-run victory in Chennai last week, is expected to draw large crowds.
