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.

The Worcestershire chairman, John Elliott, has hinted that Glenn McGrath may have bowled his last ball for the county after announcing the signing of Andy Bichel, another Australian pace bowler.

Bichel has been signed to cover for McGrath during next summer's Ashes series. However, Elliott indicated that plans for McGrath to re-sign in 2002 may not be as certain as they seemed. "Much may depend on his international workload between now and then, and how the ACB Australian Cricket Board view it," he said.

Sussex are searching for a new overseas player after Michael Bevan announced that he is to take a year off from county cricket after playing non-stop for seven years.

Meanwhile, Sussex have signed the Australian-born batsman and wicketkeeper Tim Ambrose on a two-year deal. The 18-year-old was born in New South Wales, but qualifies for England.
