The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) plans to build two new grounds in Thane and New Mumbai respectively in the coming days.
The MCA president Amol Kale has said he will be approaching the Maharashtra state government for the procurement of the required land. MCA wants to build a stadium in Thane and one club-cum-ground in New Mumbai.

MCA currently has three grounds under their jurisdiction-Wankhede Stadium, MCA-BKC ground and Sachin Tendulkar Gymkhana.
