She caught a cricketer's name (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clara

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'name' is the definition.

'she caught a cricketer's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'she' could be 'lara' and 'lara' is present in the answer.
'caught' could be 'c' (cricket abbreviation) and 'c' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clara that I've seen before include "- - Bow, silent film star" , "- Bow, US actress, the 'It Girl'" , "Butt" , "Home town of the Taoiseach" , "-- Bow, silent film actress" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
