Rangpur, Feb 10: It was not only difficult on the pitch for Bangladesh's U-19 World Cup winning captain Akbar Ali when he came out to bat against India in the final in Potchefstroom. Off the field too, the 18-year-old was battling mental trauma after losing his elder sister days back.

On January 22, Akbar's elder sister Khadija Khatun passed away while giving birth to twins, according to a report in leading Bangladesh daily 'Prothom Alo'.
