A cricket club shown by artist in capital (5)
I believe the answer is:
accra
'capital' is the definition.
(Accra is an example)
'a cricket club shown by artist' is the wordplay.
'cricket club' becomes 'cc'.
'shown by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'artist' becomes 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'a'+'cc'+'ra'='ACCRA'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for accra that I've seen before include "Ghanaian capital" , "West African capital" , "West Africa capital" , "Largest city of Ghana" , "Main city of Ghana" .)
