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.Moin Khan, the wicketkeeper, is to lead Pakistan in next month's Asia Cup in Sharjah but there is no place for the former captain Salim Malik, who faces bribery allegations. The Pakistan Cricket Board omitted three other players from a party of 14 named yesterday - the batsman Ijaz Ahmed, who enjoyed a successful tour of South Africa and Zimbabwe recently, the off-spinner Akram Raza and the paceman Kabir Khan. The PCB chief executive Arif Ali Abbasi said the omissions were linked with indiscipline.
