Are you up for some sport in afternoon? Yes, excited, name to be included (6,3,6)
I believe the answer is:
anyone for tennis
'are you up for some sport' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'in afternoon? yes excited name to be included' is the wordplay.
'excited' is an anagram indicator.
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'to be included' is an insertion indicator.
'in'+'afternoon'+'yes'='inafternoonyes'
'inafternoonyes' with letters rearranged gives 'anyonefortenis'.
'anyonefortenis' enclosing 'n' is 'ANYONE FOR TENNIS?'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
