Crossword Genius

Selecting players for hurling (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

casting

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'selecting players' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'hurling' is the second definition.
('cast' can be a synonym of 'hurl')

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for casting that I've seen before include "Shaping in mould; assigning actors to" , "shell across back of fort" , "Selecting players" , "-- Vote; -- couch" , "The process of selecting actors for play" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
