Review of batsman’s role losing most fans in the north (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boreal

'in the north' is the definition.

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for boreal that I've seen before include "Relating to qualities associated with the north wind" , "Related to the northern lights" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
