Cricket match can be trial (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

test

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'cricket match' is the first definition.
(a test is a kind of cricket match)

'be trial' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'can' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for test that I've seen before include "Dip one's toe in" , "big game" , "Cricket match; try" , "catch trout in it?" , "Audition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
