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.The International Cricket Council must play a stronger role in protecting Test cricket, according to James Anderson, the spearhead of England's bowling attack. Anderson believes it is up to the ICC to prevent the five-day game from being marginalised.
"We play a lot of one-day cricket – last year we played the Ashes, seven one-dayers in Australia and then the World Cup," Anderson told BBC Sport. "The ICC [has] a big responsibility to the game of Test cricket." The size of the crowds for Test cricket – at least outside England – is a problem, says Anderson. "You watch Test cricket around the world and attendances are dwindling," he said. "We are lucky in England in that crowds are generally sold out, but it is disappointing to see that is slightly different around the world."
