Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The South African Steve Elworthy will stand in for Wasim Akram as Lancashire's overseas player next year. The 30-year-old seam bowler and hard-hitting batsman, who has played club cricket in Lancashire, gets his chance because Wasim will be touring England with Pakistan. Wasim is on the verge of signing a new contract which will bring him back to Old Trafford in 1997.

Wendell Labrooy, the Sri Lankan fast-medium bowler and younger brother of the former Test paceman, Graeme Labrooy, is to make his tour debut after being named yesterday in the squad for the Sharjah one-day tournament, which starts on Monday.
