wicket

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gate' is the definition.
(wicket is a kind of gate)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wicket that I've seen before include "playing area" , "Small gate, for a cricketer?" , "Small gate - dismissal at cricket" , "Three stumps and two bails" , "Stumps and bails construction - success for a bowler" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
