The famous Bollywood actor, Shahrukh Khan, is all set to build a cricket stadium in Greater Los Angeles. His cricket team and a USA MLC T20 team will work together to develop a 'world-class' stadium.

The actor announced the same in a statement that he released. "Plans to build a world-class cricket stadium in the greater Los Angeles area is exciting for us and MLC. This will no doubt have a transformational impact for cricket in one of the world's most iconic metropolitan destinations," read the caption.

The statement further said that collaboration with MLC T20 is based on the future of the shortest format tournament in the country. "Our investment in MLC in America, is based on our belief in the exciting future of cricket in the USA," read the statement.
