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.Stuart Broad suffered discomfort in his groin during practice at the SWALEC Stadium today and England have called up Ajmal Shahzad as pace-bowling cover for their NatWest Twenty20 squad.
Broad was unable to finish the training session, but an England spokesman explained the decision to call up Yorkshire seamer Shahzad - already in the NatWest Series one-day international squad to take on Pakistan this month - is purely precautionary.
"We are covering all bases, just in case," he said.
"Stuart just started to feel to feel it a little bit after he got started in practice this morning."
Broad will continue to receive treatment, but at this stage is not ruled out of England's first Twenty20 match against Pakistan in Cardiff on Sunday.
