Brown made his first-class debut for Jamaica in the 1977–78 season, playing five games and taking 15 wickets at an average of 33.00 with his off-spin,[1] with a best analysis of 6 for 62 in the victory over Trinidad.[2]
When most of the senior West Indian cricketers were playing World Series Cricket in Australia in the 1978–79 season, Brown was one of several inexperienced players to be selected for the tour of India.[3] He played in eight of the first-class matches, but took only eight wickets.[4] He played a few matches for Jamaica later that season, and two more in 1984–85, but with little success.
