Embargo for former Yorkshire cricketer (7)
I believe the answer is:
boycott
'embargo' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
(Other definitions for boycott that I've seen before include "Refuse to buy or handle goods" , "Blackball" , "Refuse to handle or deal with" , "industrial action" , "Same as 22 down, named after English captain" .)
