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.

Shane Warne has been forced out of Australia's tour to India, while Mark Taylor confirmed that he will captain the side.

Warne's recovery has been slower than expected after surgery on a finger on his bowling hand. The leg-spinner has been replaced by South Australia's Peter McIntyre in the 14-man squad, which flies out on Tuesday.

India's Cricket Control Board have sacked the team manager, Sandip Patil, after the side's recent disappointing performances. Madan Lal, the former Test all-rounder, has been appointed as Patil's replacement.
