Game return of international staff (3-3)
I believe the answer is:
pac-man
'game' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'return of international staff' is the wordplay.
'return of' says the letters should be written backwards.
'international' becomes 'cap' (sportsperson who competes internationally).
'staff' becomes 'man' (as in staffing or manning a particular place).
'cap' in reverse letter order is 'pac'.
'pac'+'man'='PAC-MAN'
