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.

CARL HOOPER and Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who missed the opening two Tests, were included in West Indies' 13-man squad for the third Test against Australia, which was announced yesterday.

While Chanderpaul was out of action with a shoulder injury, Hooper has been in Australia with his wife and sick child. He warmed up with a century and nine wickets in the West Indies A side's 154-run defeat by the Australians in the match that ended on Tuesday. The Barbados opener, Adrian Griffith, has also won a place in the squad for the Test in Bridgetown, beginning tomorrow.

The trio replace Suruj Ragoonath, Daren Ganga and Lincoln Roberts, who were in the squad for the second Test, which West Indies won by 10 wickets to level the four-match series.
