Fine English cricket side gets hard worker (7)
I believe the answer is:
elegant
'fine' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'english cricket side gets hard worker' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'cricket side' becomes 'leg' (I've seen this before).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'hard worker' becomes 'ant'.
'e'+'leg'+'ant'='ELEGANT'
(Other definitions for elegant that I've seen before include "A gentle sort of stylish appearance" , "Handsome" , "Polished" , "Ingenious" , "Refined gracefulness" .)
