Crossword Genius

Cricketer useful in the kitchen? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opener

I believe this is a double definition.

'cricketer' is the first definition.
(batsman who opens the batting)

'useful in the kitchen' is the second definition.
(eg a can opener)

(Other definitions for opener that I've seen before include "leading batsman" , "cricketer, first at the crease?" , "First batsman in game" , "man, first to bat" , "First part" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
