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.Bangladesh chief selector Akram Khan has resigned after alleging the country's board had interfered in team selection.
Khan tendered his resignation today before telling reporters that the recently-named Asia Cup squad had been altered without his knowledge.
"I was not able to work independently. This is why I took the decision," he said.
Khan, who had been a selector since 2007, claimed that the three-man panel had picked Tamim Iqbal for the Asia Cup only for the hard-hitting opener to then be excluded from Monday's list.
He said former skipper Mashrafe Mortaza was also called from outside the original squad after the veteran led the Dhaka Gladiators to the inaugural Bangladesh Premier League Twenty20 title.
Bangladesh will host the biennial four-nation Asia Cup from March 11-22 with India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka also competing.
