Indians and Pakistani fans will miss the Boom-Boom of Shahid Afridi in the ODIs that are due to be played between Pakistan and India in December-January.
Afridi has not been selected for the ODI team because of his lack of form. Misbah-ul-Haq, captain of Pakistan's ODI team strongly wanted Afridi on his side but Selection committee rejected his request.
