Throw; players (4)
I believe the answer is:
cast
This clue is a double definition.
'throw' is the first definition.
(I know that throw can be written as cast)
'players' is the second definition.
(group of actors)
(Other definitions for cast that I've seen before include "Throw - actors - shape something - burrowing worm's sand" , "Players < lose" , "Squint to see" , "Selected to play a part" , "Personnel in a play" .)
