Side not acceptable and not included (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

left out

'not included' is the definition.

'side not acceptable' is the wordplay.
'side' becomes 'left' (I've seen this before**).
'not acceptable' becomes 'out' (cricket term).
'left'+'out'='LEFT OUT'

'and' is the link.

(Another definition for left out that I've seen is " Omitted".)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
