Dismissal concerning last in team on cricket ground (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

removal

'dismissal' is the definition.
(removal is a kind of dismissal)

'concerning last in team on cricket ground' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're' (**).
'last in' says to take the final letters.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'cricket ground' becomes 'oval' (I've seen this before).
The final letter of 'team' is 'm'.
're'+'m'+'oval'='REMOVAL'

(Other definitions for removal that I've seen before include "Deletion" , "The taking (of something) to another place" , "purge" , "Expulsion" , "Elimination" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
