Yet to participate in test without cover (8)

I believe the answer is:

uncapped

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'yet to participate in test' is the first definition.
(as in a cricket player yet to receive a cap)

'without cover' is the second definition.
(without a cap or cover)

(Another definition for uncapped that I've seen is " Having no upper limit".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
