He come a long way to the international cricket

He come a long way to the international cricket.

To use the phrase, your cricketer would have to start from something/somewhere that has nothing to do with cricket.

If "he" had been born in Outer Mongolia (where cricket is not known), you could have a sentence like : "He has come a long way from the yurts of Mongolia to being an international cricketer".
