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.Simon Jones, the England fast bowler, has targeted the tour of the West Indies next March for his return from cruciate ligament damage to his right knee which he sustained in the first Test against Australia in Brisbane last winter.
The Glamorgan pace bowler, who is a member of the England Academy squad, said: "That is a goal for me. That is what I am trying for."
Richard Johnson cancelled his honeymoon to tour with England, and after being overlooked for the drawn opening match against the Bangladesh Cricket Board President's XI, the Somerset seamer is expected to face Bangladesh A over the next three days as England weigh up their options for the first Test.
The Worcestershire off-spinner, Gareth Batty, who took three wickets against the President's XI, is also hopeful of being included in the final warm-up match before the opening Test on 21 October.
