Wicked getting fortune playing sport (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

badminton

'sport' is the definition.
(badminton is a kind of sport)

'wicked getting fortune playing' is the wordplay.
'wicked' becomes 'bad' ('bad' can be similar in meaning to 'wicked').
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fortune' becomes 'mint' (I've seen this before**).
'playing' becomes 'on'.
'bad'+'mint'+'on'='BADMINTON'

(Other definitions for badminton that I've seen before include "Racket sport" , "22 Across sport" , "A sport; Beaufort seat" , "Game with shuttlecocks" , "in which rackets are involved" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
