If you're going to pay your airfare anyway then get a working holiday visa, decide where you want to live/work and look for a local club. It's unlikely that a club will provide accommodation and try to secure a job for someone with stats like yours, not that they're bad but if they're going to have an outlay then they're going to want someone who they know will do a job for them and has the stats to back them up.

With HMRC (UK tax authorities) also clamping down on payments made by cricket clubs you are seeing fewer clubs offering money and accommodation then maybe so 3 or 4 years ago. The provision of accommodation, if they are paying for you, is taxable and some cricket clubs have been hit with big tax bills from the taxman recently.
