International striker after trial? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
test match
'international' is the definition.
(cricket international)
'striker after trial?' is the wordplay.
'striker' becomes 'match' (a match can be struck).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'trial?' becomes 'test' ('test' can be a synonym of 'trial').
'match' after 'test' is 'TEST MATCH'.
(Other definitions for test match that I've seen before include "14 [NATIONAL] team meeting" , "International game" , "Sort of game" , "international confrontation" , "Lord's international?" .)
