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.Peter Moores, who captained Sussex through one of the most turbulent seasons in the club's 158-year history, will not be taking on the role next summer. Tony Pigott, the chief executive, yesterday confirmed that Sussex, who finished bottom of the County Championship and Sunday League, will be appointing a new captain, although he still wants Moores to play a part in the club's future.
Sussex have appointed Dave Gilbert, the former Australian Test bowler, as deputy chief executive and director of cricket. He moves from Surrey where he was coach for two years, steering the club to the Sunday League title and victory in the Benson and Hedges Cup.
Matthew Maynard, captain of Glamorgan, is to lead an England representative team in a three-day `Cricket Max' tournament in New Zealand from 31 October to 2 November. `Cricket Max' is a shortened version of the game, which concentrates on accurate batting by awarding double points for hitting balls into `zones' at each end of the ground.
