Handler sent out to the country (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

netherlands

'the country' is the definition.
(Netherlands is an example)

'handler sent out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'handler'+'sent'='handlersent'
'handlersent' is an anagram of 'NETHERLANDS'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for netherlands that I've seen before include "somewhere in Europe" , "- Antilles includes island of Curacao" , "a nation" , "North European country" , "Their government at The Hague" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
