'position at lord's?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'curt member's' is the wordplay.
'curt' becomes 'short' (synonyms).
'member' becomes 'leg' (member can mean a limb).
'short'+'leg'='SHORT-LEG'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for short leg that I've seen before include "one who isn't in" , "Fieldsman" , "Fielder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
