An easy cricket id parade?

Question

I hit my first century in the first test my country played and was also the captain.

I also have the record of the highest score for my country. I was playing another sport for my country before I shifted to cricket, and was described in that sport as 'one of the best' in my position by the captain of another country.

I have coached an English county and a club before that.

Oh yes, I've played a total of 85 tests and ODIs combined.

This shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to find out.
