Study Pakistan's opener during cricket for example (7)
I believe the answer is:
inspect
'study' is the definition.
(I know that study can be written as inspect)
'pakistan's opener during cricket for example' is the wordplay.
'opener' suggests taking the first letters.
'during' indicates putting letters inside.
'cricket for example' becomes 'insect' (cricket is an example).
The first letter of 'pakistans' is 'p'.
'p' going into 'insect' is 'INSPECT'.
(Other definitions for inspect that I've seen before include "Assess; examine" , "Ecamine closely" , "vet" , "Scan" , "Scrutinise" .)
