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.NEW ZEALAND'S opening batsman, Matthew Bell, was yesterday named as part of the Kiwis' squad for the four-Test series in England after the World Cup. Bell, who has been out of the side since March with a viral infection, is one of four players called up for the series, while three of the World Cup squad will return home.
Bell will probably partner Matthew Horne to open the innings, with Nathan Astle dropping down the order. Gavin Larsen, Matthew Hart and Carl Bulfin have been released.
NEW ZEALAND SQUAD (for Test series v England): S P Fleming (capt), G I Allott, N J Astle, M D Bell, C L Cairns, M G Croy, S B Doull, C Z Harris, M J Horne, C D McMillan, D J Nash, S B O'Connor, A C Parore, R G Twose, D L Vettori, B Walker.
