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.Kenneth Benjamin, the West Indies pace man, is doubtful for the Test series against India in the Caribbean starting next week because of a stress fracture. The Antiguan bowler, who came home early from West Indies' recent tour of Australia nursing what was reported then as a side strain, aggravated the injury in a Red Stripe Cup match against Trinided and Tobago. He has been told that a rib stress fracture will keep him out of action for up to six weeks.
Aravinda de Silva, the Sri Lankan batsman, has recovered from a groin injury and expects to be available for all Sri Lanka's tour matches in New Zealand, starting with the three-day match against New Zealand A, in Gisborne, starting on Sunday.
