Which cricketing nation is this???

Question

Here I am, situated in one continent, but member of the cricket council of another.

Am a member of the ICC, but am not clarifying whether full/associate/etc.

Very little progress in the game since starting it, but with good reason.

Almost all my players are/were immigrants to my land.

Notably, a major cricketing nation's 'A' team is visiting me soon to boost my cricket development.

Actually, I shall not be meeting them with my national team, but instead with a team that consists of players with a particular qualification from all over the world.

Global players for this team include some from Australia and South Africa.

In fact, one country had objected to my entry into the ICC, and for non cricketing reasons.

Later, in an international tournament in another country, I had faced protests for the same reason.

Am/was coached by another cricketer, one of the greatest his country has produced.

Identify this country using your lateral thinking abilities!!!!
