Crossword Genius

Test cricket, for instance, includes pressure (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inspect

'test' is the definition.
(test can mean to check or inspect)

'cricket for instance includes pressure' is the wordplay.
'cricket for instance' becomes 'insect' (I've seen this in another clue).
'includes' is an insertion indicator.
'pressure' becomes 'p' (scientific abbreviation).
'insect' going around 'p' is 'INSPECT'.

(Other definitions for inspect that I've seen before include "Carefully examine" , "Look critically at" , "Look over carefully" , "Check" , "Scan" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
