'supervised' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'play we hear' is the wordplay.
'play' becomes 'over' (over is a kind of play).
'we hear' becomes 'seen' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'over'+'seen'='OVERSEEN'

'some cricket followed by piece of' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for overseen that I've seen is " Supervised".)
