Lord's, cricket's most famous ground, is set for a £200 million ($398.5 million) redevelopment, owners the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) announced.

Over the next 10 years, five of the northwest London's ground's stands will be redeveloped, though not the 120-year old pavilion, which is a listed building. At the end of the redevelopment, the ground's capacity, currently 28,000, should exceed 38,000.

Other plans include the building of a hotel, private apartments, a new academy and the installation of floodlights and all come after a series of consultations with the club's 22,000 full and associate members.
