'brief' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'endless problem with cricket club in court' is the wordplay.
'endless problem' becomes 'su' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'cricket club' becomes 'cc' (cricketing abbreviation).
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'su'+'cc'+'in'+'ct'='SUCCINCT'

'here's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
