Referral system under scrutiny
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.Clive Lloyd, the former West Indies captain, will take his place as chairman of the ICC cricket committee today as they decide on a wide range of contentious issues.
The most controversial item at the two-day Lord's meeting may be whether to continue with the referral system permitting players to request a review of umpiring decisions. The committee will also consider day/night Test matches, bad light regulations, the over rates in Tests and the possibility of field restrictions.
Although Clare Connor, the former England women's captain, will attend as the committee's first female member, they are still likely to decide on evolution rather than revolution.
