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 AUSTRALIAN pace bowler Michael Kasprowicz has joined Hampshire as their overseas player for the forthcoming season. The 26-year-old former Essex player, a member of Australia's Ashes squad last summer, replaces his Queensland team-mate, Matthew Hayden.

Kasprowicz took 60 wickets for Essex when he played for them in 1994 and a Sheffield Shield record of 64 in a season for Queensland in 1995- 96.

The Hampshire director of coaching, Tim Tremlett, said: "He will be able to join us for the start of the season. Kasprowicz is recognised as a top-class bowler and that is what we need."

The Sussex chairman, Robin Marlar, has not ruled out a move from the county's Hove headquarters in his annual report to members.

The first decision made by the committee after last year's members' revolt was to put plans to redevelop the county ground on hold - and Marlar admitted that Sussex were looking at other sights: "Whilst we develop new ideas for the county ground, we wish to see what else could be available for us."

Sussex made it clear that if a local authority backed sports complex becomes a real possibility, the club would wish to become actively involved in any discussions.
