Crossword Genius

Dismissed for being unavailable? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

out

I believe this is a double definition.

'dismissed' is the first definition.
(dismissed in cricket)

'unavailable?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'for being' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for out that I've seen before include "Not allowed - on strike" , "in the shops" , "SECOND PART OF 16" , "impossible" , "Old hat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
