Yorkshire sign Lehmann
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.Yorkshire yesterday signed Darren Lehmann, the Australian left- hander, as their replacement overseas player following Michael Slater's inclusion in the Australian touring party.
Surrey have opted not to chase a replacement for Brendon Julian, who is also in the squad. They say they are happy to rely on their up and coming youngsters.
Glamorgan intend to have Waqar Younis, the Pakistan fast bowler, back in Cardiff within the next 10 days to assess the injury their overseas signing picked up in Sri Lanka yesterday.
Waqar was initially reported as suffering from a stress fracture of the left ankle that would keep him out of action for a minimum of six weeks. But inquiries by the county indicate the problem is not as serious as was first feared and relates to the toe, not the ankle. Glamorgan's secretary, Mike Fatkin, admitted he was still "concerned".
