Dismissed team not back in the pavilion? (7)

I believe the answer is:

outside

'not back in the pavilion?' is the definition.

'dismissed team' is the wordplay.
'dismissed' becomes 'out' (I've seen this before).
'team' becomes 'side' (I've seen this before**).
'out'+'side'='OUTSIDE'

(Other definitions for outside that I've seen before include "Without" , "Tedious (anag)" , "In the fresh air?" , "Alfresco" , "Unlikely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
