Brown was the leading wicket taker in the 2018 Vitality Blast taking 31 wickets. This included 4–21 against Lancashire County Cricket Club which meant the Worcestershire Rapids progressed to the final of the Vitality t20 Blast on 15 September 2018 and took on the Sussex Sharks . Worcestershire went on to beat the Sharks by 4 wickets in the final to secure their maiden T20 Blast Trophy.[6]

In October 2018, he was named in the squad for the Sylhet Sixers team, following the draft for the 2018–19 Bangladesh Premier League.[7]

In November 2019, Brown signed with Melbourne Stars for the 2019–20 Big Bash League season replacing Dale Steyn who had gone back to South Africa due to international commitments.[8]

Having already agreed a permanent move to Derbyshire for the 2024 season, Brown joined them early on loan in September 2023.[9]

In September 2019, Brown was named in England's Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for their series against New Zealand.[10] He made his T20I debut for England, against New Zealand, on 1 November 2019.[11] The following month, Brown was named in England's One Day International (ODI) squad for their series against South Africa.[12] However, in January 2020, Brown was ruled out of England's ODI and T20I squads, following a stress fracture to his lower back.[13]

On 29 May 2020, Brown was named in a 55-man group of players to begin training ahead of international fixtures starting in England following the COVID-19 pandemic.[14][15]
