Look into the start of professionalism in cricket for example (7)
I believe the answer is:
inspect
'look into' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the start of professionalism in cricket for example' is the wordplay.
'the start of' indicates taking the first letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'cricket for example' becomes 'insect' (cricket is a kind of insect).
The initial letter of 'professionalism' is 'p'.
'p' going within 'insect' is 'INSPECT'.
(Other definitions for inspect that I've seen before include "Ecamine closely" , "test" , "Examine or survey" , "Scrutinise" , "Scrutinize, audit" .)
