Coaching career

edit

Brown acted as Zimbabwe's assistant coach during the 2007 World Cup. On 28 August 2007, Brown was appointed the national coach of Zimbabwe, taking over from Kevin Curran.[1]

Within two weeks, Zimbabwe had beaten Australia in the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 tournament. However, a year later Brown was told by Zimbabwe Cricket that his 12-month contract would not be extended, and Walter Chawaguta, the former Zimbabwe Under-19 coach, took charge of the national team in August 2008. In 2012, Brown was appointed head of cricket development by Cricket Kenya and then interim national team coach.[2]
