Very famous fraud infiltrating cricket team caught? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iconic

'very famous' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fraud infiltrating cricket team caught?' is the wordplay.
'fraud' becomes 'con' (con is a kind of fraud).
'infiltrating cricket' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'team' becomes 'ii'.
'caught?' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'con' placed within 'ii' is 'iconi'.
'iconi'+'c'='ICONIC'

(Other definitions for iconic that I've seen before include "of images" , "conventional type" , "Highly representative" , "Symbolically representative" , "famously representative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
