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.Yorkshire have reappointed David Byas as captain but released Mark Robinson, their 29-year-old left-arm seamer. The Hull-born Robinson made 90 first-class appearances, taking 218 wickets at a cost of 31.49 runs apiece after signing from Northamptonshire in 1991. He has been unable to earn selection this season. The club have given a new contract to the second-team batsman Bradley Parker, who was offered the chance to move last year but remained at Headingley to complete the terms of his engagement.
Bob Cottam, the Somerset Director of Cricket, has parted company with the club with a year of his contract still to run. A statement from Peter Anderson, the chief executive, yesterday explained Cottam was departing "by mutual consent". The same statement also revealed that the club captain, Andy Hayhurst, the off-spinner, Jeremy Batty, and the seam bowler, Jeremy Hallett, are being released.
