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.

ENGLAND are close to persuading South Africa to split the 1995-96 winter tour into two halves with a five-Test series being followed by a limited-over international competition which would serve as a warm-up for the World Cup, writes Glenn Moore.

England would pick two squads with Test players flying back after the Test matches to be replaced by one-day specialists.

FUTURE DATES: Home: 1995 West Indies; 1996 India / Pakistan; 1997 Australia; 1998 South Africa; 1999 New Zealand / World Cup; 2000 West Indies; 2001 Australia. Away: 1994-95 Australia; 1995-96 South

Africa / World Cup (14 February-17 March); 1996-97 New Zealand; 1997-98 West Indies; 1998-99 Australia; 1999-2000 tba; 2000-01 tba; 2001-02 tba; 2002-03 Australia.
