Minister caught soon (5)
I believe the answer is:
canon
'minister' is the definition.
(canon is a type of church minister)
'caught soon' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'soon' becomes 'anon' (synonyms).
'c'+'anon'='CANON'
(Other definitions for canon that I've seen before include "Member of the clergy" , "senior cleric" , "priest for cathedral duties" , "Senior clergyman" , "Collection of writing" .)
