Courtney Browne

Browne was part of the transitional phase of West Indies cricket where many players were brought in and then benched, all too quickly. He got his maiden call-up against Australia in 1995. However, after few indifferent performances was dropped.

He then received a call up during the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy, and this was where attained his silverware. In a historic moment for West Indies cricket, Browne combined with Ian Bradshaw to stitch a memorable partnership of 71 for the ninth wicket. This partnership helped West Indies lift the trophy for the very first time.

However, Browne's career was once again cut short, this time for good when he was dropped and thus retired a year later.
