Run west with American to find country (6)
I believe the answer is:
rwanda
'country' is the definition.
(Rwanda is an example)
'run west with american' is the wordplay.
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'west' becomes 'w' (synonyms).
'with' becomes 'and'.
'american' becomes 'a' (common abbreviation - e.g. in organisation names).
'r'+'w'+'and'+'a'='RWANDA'
'to find' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for rwanda that I've seen before include "African republic" , "Republic in central Africa" , "African state" , "Kigali's country" , "Hutu and Tutsi country" .)
