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.

Northamptonshire's Mal Loye has been voted the Professional Cricketers' Association player of the year. The award gives the 25-year-old batsman a rare double, having been named the PCA young player of the year in 1993. Loye won the award ahead of Angus Fraser (Middlesex), Graeme Hick (Worcestershire) and Courtney Walsh (Gloucestershire). Lancashire's Andy Flintoff is the PCA's young player of the year.

The Middlesex wicketkeeper Keith Brown is retiring from first class cricket at the end of the current season in order to pursue a coaching career at Bramdean School in Exeter.
