Brown is aware of his added responsibilities of being an international player.

“I suppose there is added pressure, being an overseas player and there’s more expected of you," he says. "But from my point of view, I’m a very competitive person anyway, and I hold myself to high standards.

"So, my job when I walk onto the field, whether it be you’re a domestic player, or for England, or for Melbourne Stars, as an overseas player, my job is to contribute to wins hopefully and ultimately if the team’s winning then I’m happy.”

During the English winters, Brown has been studying at university, so watching BBL on television has been minimal.

However, Brown is aware of some of the power hitters he could face this summer.

“Someone like Chris Lynn or D’Arcy Short, those kinds of blokes," he said. "I’ve played against D’Arcy this year, against Durham for Worcestershire, so I know he’s a good player.

“You’re just wary of blokes like that when you know that they are going to get taken down no matter what. So, it’s more being wary of them, but I’m looking forward to bond with everyone really, it’s going to be a good challenge.”

Brown is a likeable guy who is still learning his craft yet operates at a high level. Fans of the Melbourne Stars are going to see an excellent T20 bowler in their colours.

He has risen to every challenge that cricket has thrown at him so far, and the BBL will be no different. Brown is ready and cannot wait for the BBL season to start.

He added: “Really looking forward to just getting out there and being in the city of Melbourne.

"I’ve heard great things about it, and playing at the MCG in front of loads of fans is going to be amazing.”
