Money, for instance, for a cricket side (3)
I believe the answer is:
leg
'for a cricket side' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'money for instance' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'l' (L can mean 'pounds').
'for instance' becomes 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'l'+'eg'='LEG'
(Other definitions for leg that I've seen before include "Run < on" , "Poultry portion" , "Gigot" , "Stage (of race)" , "Projecting support for chair or table" .)
