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.England's new selectors have made an adventurous choice of players for the England A match against The Rest. Instead of taking the usual route of choosing established players from England's senior squad, the chairman David Graveney, Graham Gooch and Mike Gatting have selected emerging talents from around the country for the curtain-raiser to the season at Edgbaston, starting on 18 April.
The Glamorgan slow left-arm spinner, Dean Cosker, and Alex Tudor, the Surrey seamer, who both enjoyed success on England Under-19's tour to Pakistan during the winter, have been included in the Rest line-up alongside the Worcestershire off-spinner, Vikram Solanki.
