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.WINSTON BENJAMIN, Leicestershire's West Indian fast bowler, is joining Hampshire on a three-year contract as their overseas player for next season.
The 28-year-old Antiguan has been with Leicestershire for seven seasons, but the county recently announced they were releasing the Antiguan to make way for the West Indies opening batsman, Phil Simmons.
Benjamin, who won his Test place back during the winter, will be replacing Malcolm Marshall and rejoining the former Leicestershire captain, David Gower.
Nottinghamshire have signed Jimmy Adams, the West Indies all- rounder, as their overseas replacement for the New Zealander, Chris Cairns, next summer. The 25-year-old Jamaican, who is presently playing in the Durham Senior League with Eppleton, comes in because Cairns is required for New Zealand's tour of England in the first half of next season.
Sussex have sold all their 4,500 tickets for the NatWest Trophy final against Warwickshire at Lord's next Saturday.
