Lively music in island cricket club I love (9)
I believe the answer is:
capriccio
'lively music' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'island cricket club i love' is the wordplay.
'island' becomes 'capri' (I've seen this before**).
'cricket club' becomes 'cc'.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'capri'+'cc'+'i'+'o'='CAPRICCIO'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for capriccio that I've seen before include "Lively work" , "Strauss opera" , "Free instrumental composition, played with improvisation" , "A lively piece of music" , "Kind of free composition" .)
