Coaching career

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]
