urn

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

'a cricket trophy?' is the definition.
'urn' can be an answer for 'trophy?'. I am not sure about the 'a cricket' bit.

'in auditorium win' is the wordplay.
'in auditorium' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (as the word might sound to an audience).
'win' becomes 'earn' (I've seen this in another clue).
'earn' is a homophone of 'URN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for urn that I've seen before include "A ceremonial vase as for human ashes" , "Vessel for making hot drinks" , "Water vessel" , "Spore-producing capsule of a moss" , "Run to get Greek vase" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
