CRICKET’S ACCELERATING GROWTH in the United States received a major lift today with the official launch of LaGrange Cricket Stadium, a venue being developed by LaGrange Cricket Holdings in LaGrange, near Atlanta, Georgia. Scheduled to open in 2027, the stadium is set to become a permanent home for cricket in the USA.
Designed to meet international cricketing standards, the 45-acre LaGrange Cricket Stadium will feature 10,000 permanent seats, with the ability to scale up to 25,000 for major open-air concerts and large entertainment events. Envisioned as a multi-sport, community-centric destination, the venue will be equipped to host both national and international fixtures.
Beyond elite competition, the stadium aims to function as an economic catalyst and regional landmark, driving tourism, community participation and year-round activity. It will also serve as a platform for local events and cultural programming, reinforcing its role as a shared space for the wider community.
The launch event, held today at a city hotel in Mumbai, was attended by former India cricketer Pravin Amre (Chief Strategy Officer, LaGrange Cricket Holdings), along with Keval Patel (Founder, President & CEO), Gary S. Pasricha (General Counsel), Siddharth Das (Co-Founder, Operations), Jefferson Miller (Vice President, Cricket) and Michael Hall (League Operations Director, Caribbean Premier League).
Patel said, “LaGrange Cricket Stadium is more than a traditional venue; it is a world-class sports and entertainment experience designed to redefine how cricket is enjoyed in the United States. Beyond hosting matches, it will serve as a vibrant hub for fans and the community, blending sport, culture, and live entertainment. The involvement of Indian cricketing expertise, particularly through Mr. Pravin Amre, brings credibility, experience, and a strong connection to one of the sport’s most passionate markets. This project highlights our commitment to creating an international-standard destination that drives the growth of cricket while delivering long-term economic and community value for LaGrange.”
Amre shared, “Having played and coached at the highest level, I understand what it takes to build a truly international-standard facility. LaGrange Cricket Stadium is being developed with a strong focus on quality and global standards. From the playing surface to player facilities and the spectator experience, every detail is being carefully planned. This stadium has the potential to transform how cricket is played, watched and developed in the United States.”
