It's symbolic of one Cricket Club touring around Ulster (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iconic

'it's symbolic' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'one cricket club touring around ulster' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'cricket club' becomes 'cc' (cricketing abbreviation).
'touring' is an insertion indicator (touring can mean going round).
'around' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ulster' becomes 'NI' (Northern Ireland).
'o'+'ni'='oni'
'cc' placed around 'oni' is 'conic'.
'i'+'conic'='ICONIC'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for iconic that I've seen before include "Stand-out" , "Well-known and representative of a particular idea" , "Like a venerated image" , "Emblematic, representative" , "that's like an emoji?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
