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.India's captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, has been banned for one match because of a slow over rate in his team's 110-run one-day defeat to Australia in Brisbane yesterday.
The International Cricket Council match referee, Andy Pycroft, ruled India were two overs short of their target when time allowances were taken into consideration. He banned Dhoni for a match and fined him 40 per cent of his match fee. Dhoni was also banned for the last Test against Australia at Adelaide last month, for the same reason.
