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.Herschelle Gibbs and Nicky Boje, two players named alongside Hansie Cronje in match-fixing charges by Indian police, were offered new two-year contracts by South Africa yesterday.
The pair, who have denied any knowledge of match-fixing, were also included in a squad to tour Sri Lanka in July and August.
Cronje, who admitted receiving money from a bookmaker, was sacked as captain last week, and the United Cricket Board of South Africa managing director, Ali Bacher, said new clauses regarding match-fixing would be included in the contracts.
CONTRACTED SOUTH AFRICAN PLAYERS: Two years: A category: P Adams, M Boucher, D Cullinan, H Gibbs, J Kallis, G Kirsten, L Klusener, S Pollock, J Rhodes. B category: N Boje, M Hayward, M Ntini. One year: N McKenzie, A Hall, R Telemachus, D Terbrugge, B Dippenaar.
