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.Navjot Sidhu has been recalled by India for their forthcoming tour of West Indies, his first overseas assignment since his walk-out in England last year. India's selectors named Sidhu in a squad of 16 where their itinerary, including five Tests and four one-day internationals, starts next week. Sidhu quit India's team midway through the England tour after being dropped for a one-day international, and subsequently served a 50-day disciplinary ban imposed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
INDIA SQUAD (for tour of West Indies): S R Tendulkar (capt), A Kumble, (vice-captain), N S Sidhu, A D Jadeja, V V Laxman, S Ganguly, M Azharuddin, R S Dravid, R R Singh, S Joshi, J Srinath, V Prasad, A Kuruvilla, D Ganesh, N R Mongia, S S Karim.
Alan Caffyn, the Sussex chairman, yesterday blamed their former captain Alan Wells for the number of high-profile departures from the county. Caffyn claimed that almost all the Sussex players are relieved that Wells, who was with Sussex for 15 years and captain for the last five, has now left for Kent. The 35-year-old former England batsman was sacked as skipper last October, but the coach, Desmond Haynes, expressed doubt over his leadership qualities much earlier. Caffyn revealed that Haynes told him at the end of May he did not feel Wells was the right man to lead the side. "I thought it was too early to do anything," the Sussex chief said. "They had not had a chance to get a working relationship together and I think it was the right decision to take action at the end of the season.''
