This past weekend a slew of such meetings took place at Monaco Grand Prix, where stalwarts like Yuvraj Singh, Neymar, and Maria Sharapova were present at the same circuit. From Monaco, the attention will now shift to the UK, where the Voice of Cricket will have a one-to-one with arguably the finest football commentator ever.

In the past, you might have seen Virat Kohli and Sunil Chhetri getting along as a representation of the cricket and football world in the same frame, but this time it is not the players who will be making the headlines, rather the ones who have been giving their game meaning since the time when many of the big names of today did not set foot on the playing field. Harsha Bhogle and Peter Drury, two of the foremost voices of their respective sports, are set to meet next week. During the Europa League final broadcasting session, Drury confirmed the planned meeting and later Bhogle Tweeted out on the subject.
