'newest' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'the french game' is the wordplay.
'the french' becomes 'la' (one of the French words for 'the').
'game' becomes 'test' (cricket test match).
'la'+'test'='LATEST'

'info from' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for latest that I've seen before include "Most recent (news)" , "Stop press news?" , "Of most recent date" , "Most recent, hot off the press" , "style of today" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
