Cricket perhaps ignoring batting order? (4)
I believe the answer is:
sect
'order?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'cricket perhaps ignoring batting' is the wordplay.
'cricket perhaps' becomes 'insect' (cricket is an example).
'ignoring' is a deletion indicator.
'batting' becomes 'in' (as in batting or being 'in' in cricket).
'insect' with 'in' taken out is 'SECT'.
(Other definitions for sect that I've seen before include "Fringe religious group" , "Body of followers" , "Cult group" , "Religious splinter group" , "Subdivision of a religion" .)
