Cricket or squash (5)

I believe the answer is:

sport

I believe this is a double definition.

'cricket' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'squash' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for sport that I've seen before include "Wear - game - generous type" , "Physical activity" , "Physical exertion and competition" , "Show off" , "Eg, rugby" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
