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.

Mohammad Azharuddin has been named as captain of India's 1999 World Cup squad.

An unbeaten half-century by Hashan Tillakeratne only delayed the inevitable as Sri Lanka fell to an innings' defeat against Pakistan in the Asian Test Championship final in Dhaka yesterday. Sri Lanka, needing to reach 364 to make Pakistan bat again, were dismissed for 188 in their second innings at the stroke of tea on the fourth day.
