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.

Ali Bacher, the managing director of the United Cricket Board of South Africa, has finally sanctioned Shaun Pollock's signing for Warwickshire, on the understanding that the 22-year-old all-rounder is not overworked.

Bacher's "gentleman's agreement" with Warwickshire's captain, Dermot Reeve, in East London this morning put the seal on Pollock's pounds 40,000 contract for next summer.

Pollock, who has impressed for South Africa during England's tour of the republic, will join the county champions in April if he passes a medical to be conducted by the UCBSA next week.
