Get rid of the priest in team reshuffle (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eliminate

'get rid' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the priest in team reshuffle' is the wordplay.
'the priest' becomes 'eli' (biblical figure).
'reshuffle' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'team'='inteam'
'inteam' with letters rearranged gives 'minate'.
'eli'+'minate'='ELIMINATE'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for eliminate that I've seen before include "Cut out" , "Discard - exclude" , "Do away with, get rid of" , "waste" , "Knock out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
