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 left-hander Justin Langer has been recalled to the Australian Test team after a three-year absence having scored an unbeaten 274 for Western Australia in their Sheffield Shield match at the weekend. Selectors also opted for the Queensland opener Matthew Hayden to replace the injured Matthew Elliott for the third Test against the West Indies, which starts on Boxing Day in Melbourne.

AUSTRALIA SQUAD (Third Test v West Indies, starting Thursday, Melbourne): M A Taylor (capt), M L Hayden, M E Waugh, S R Waugh, J L Langer, M G Bevan, G S Blewett, I A Healy (wkt), S K Warne, P R Reiffel, J N Gillespie, G D McGrath.
