LaGrange Cricket Stadium launched as cricket finds a new home in the US

The rapid rise and development of Cricket in the United States received a significant boost on Monday, December 15, with the official launch of the LaGrange Cricket Stadium, a state-of-the-art venue being developed by LaGrange Cricket Holdings in LaGrange, near Atlanta, Georgia. Set to open in 2027, the stadium will be a permanent home for cricket in the US, redefining the sport’s presence in the region.

Built to meet international cricket standards, the LaGrange Cricket Stadium will feature 10,000 permanent seats spread over 45 hectares, with the flexibility to expand capacity to 25,000 for large-scale outdoor concerts and entertainment events. Designed as a multi-sport and community-oriented destination, the venue will be able to host national and international matches, positioning LaGrange as a key hub in the global cricket ecosystem.

In addition to elite sports, the stadium is designed to serve as an economic anchor and regional destination, promoting tourism, community engagement and year-round programming. The facility will also host local events and cultural initiatives, strengthening 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 Indian cricketer Pravin Amre, Chief Strategy Officer of LaGrange Cricket Holdings, alongside Keval Patel (Founder, President and 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 (CPL).

India’s deep-rooted association with cricket adds strong relevance to this development. Strengthening this connection between India and the US is the involvement of Amre, who brings Indian cricket expertise and global experience to the development of the LaGrange Cricket Stadium. His guidance ensures that the venue meets international standards while having a distinct Indian flavor, reinforcing the stadium’s vision to become a global home for cricket in the United States.

Keval Patel, founder, president and CEO of LaGrange Cricket Holdings, 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. In addition to hosting matches, it will serve as a vibrant hub for fans and the community, combining sports, culture and live entertainment. The involvement of Indian cricket expertise, particularly through Pravin Amre, brings credibility, experience and a strong connection to one of the sport’s most passionate markets. This project underlines our commitment to creating a destination of international standard that drives the growth of cricket while delivering long-term economic and community value to LaGrange.”

Pravin Amre, Chief Strategy Officer of LaGrange Cricket Holdings, said:

“Having played and coached at the highest level, I understand what it takes to build a facility of truly international standards. The LaGrange Cricket Stadium is being developed with a strong focus on quality and global standards. From the playing surface to the player facilities and spectator experience, every detail is carefully planned. This stadium has the potential to transform the way cricket is played, watched and developed in the United States.”

With 2.5 billion fans worldwide, played in 110 member states, cricket is the second most watched sport worldwide. Its footprint in the United States continues to rapidly expand through emerging professional leagues and increasing participation. LaGrange Cricket Stadium is positioned to play a central role in this growth, serving as both a premier match venue and development centre.

In addition to elite-level matches, the stadium will host youth academies and national competitions, creating a structured pathway for young talent and supporting the long-term growth of cricket in the US.

As cricket continues to find new audiences beyond traditional markets, LaGrange Cricket Stadium stands as a symbol of the future of cricket in America, rooted in global expertise, enhanced by Indian cricket influence and built to serve future generations.
