After making one appearance for Nottinghamshire Second XI in 1953, Brown made his first-class cricket debut in 1957 for Kent against Cambridge University.

[2] His most successful season came in 1965, when he claimed 119 wickets with a bowling average of 19.04,[2] but further England honours eluded him.
