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. He played a few matches for Jamaica later that season, and two more in 1984-85, but with little success.
