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.Sachin Tendulkar has been included in the India squad for the Tri-nations series in Sri Lanka next month.
Tendulkar missed the recent tour of the West Indies with a shoulder injury but has been named in the 15-man party for the one-day tournament which also includes South Africa.
The all-rounder Dinesh Mongia, currently playing for Leicestershire, and Rudra Pratap Singh have also been recalled.
India's chairman of selectors, Kiran More, said: "Sachin played about five matches in England [in charity games for a Lashings XI] and performed well. He batted and bowled so we felt there was no need to do a fitness test. Also, there will be a camp before the tour, so there is no issue on his fitness."
