Asha Bhonsle and Bret Lee are likely to enthrall music lovers once again in a new album, with the Bollywood singer expressing her desire to record another song with the Australian pace bowler.
Bhonsle, who is likely to visit Australia next month, was quoted by “Herald Sun” on Wednesday as saying that a meeting with Lee is on the cards next month when she pays her first visit to Australia in 20 years.
“Why not? The song is going extremely well,” the 73-year-old said in an interview.
“He is such a huge cricket star and you know how crazy we all are about cricket… but not only that, he is a pop star here now.”
She warned that Lee should expect a phone call from her soon.

Australian pace bowler, Brett Lee alongside Indian legendary but ever so melodious Asha Bhosle. That’s an awesome news. Won’t make a big difference to Asha ji’s popularity. What i meant was that it’s a great news for Brett Lee as now more Indians will come to know about his other talents.
Brett Lee, known for his never-say-die approach on the cricket field, has shown a more gentle side off it, recording a love song with a legendary Indian singer.
The 30-year-old Lee and Asha Bhonsle, a 74-year-old famous for her diverse range from love songs to caberet and funky pop, headed for the studio during Australia’s victorious campaign in the Champions Trophy, staged in India in October and November.
The song portrays a love affair between a foreigner and an Indian girl, a leading newspaper reported on Friday.
“Other than cricket, my passion is music,” Lee was quoted in the daily as saying. “So when told I’d be singing with a legend in India, I was glad.”
Lee plays bass and acoustic guitar in rock band Six & Out that also features his older brother, Shane. His mother is a qualified piano teacher.
The blonde paceman made his test debut in 1999, and has bagged 211 wickets, along with recording 255 dismissals in one-day internationals.
Waiting eagerly for this song.
