Look at Pakistan's opener in cricket, for example? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inspect

'look at' is the definition.
(inspecting is a kind of looking at)

'pakistan's opener in cricket for example?' is the wordplay.
'opener' suggests taking the first letters.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'cricket for example?' becomes 'insect' (cricket is an example).
The first letter of 'pakistans' is 'p'.
'p' going into 'insect' is 'INSPECT'.

(Other definitions for inspect that I've seen before include "Look over carefully" , "Carefully examine" , "Ecamine closely" , "Examine or survey" , "Examine closely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
