Throw into play? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cast

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'throw' is the first definition.
(I know that cast is a type of throw)

'play?' is the second definition.
(cast is a kind of play)

'into' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cast that I've seen before include "Set of performers" , "Thrown" , "Squint to see" , "Actors; toss" , "Provided players" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
