Sports letter: No kidding
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.Sir: What is the point of bringing younger players into the England cricket team (Aftab Habib, for example) and then dropping them after two Tests? The available evidence suggests that the old guard are not up to it and the only logical way for English cricket to make progress is to call up the young lions and persevere with them no matter what. Discarding them in favour of players whose greatest days are well behind them does their confidence no good and is no way for England to regain some respect as a cricketing nation.
