Zimbabwean Brown joins Kenya coaching staff
Kenya have appointed former Zimbabwe cricket coach Robin Brown as
head of its national elite programme to oversee the development of the
game from the grassroots to the top level.
The programme which is aimed at strengthening the structure of the
sport, was initiated last year by the outgoing Cricket Kenya chief
executive Tom Sears after Kenya's dismal performance in the 2011 World
Cup.
Sears, who is set to leave his post at the end of June said the
appointment of Brown as head of elite development will be a huge benefit
in many areas.
"Robin is a vastly experienced coach who has played and coached at
the highest level and is highly respected in the game," said Sears.
"His primary role will be to ensure we are identifying the best
players in our system from junior level right through to our Emerging
Players squad and ensuring they receive all the coaching and support
they need to fulfil their potential."
Brown played seven one-dayers for Zimbabwe between 1983 and 1987 and
was appointed coach to replace compatriot Kevin Curran in 2007. He left
the post after only one year. AFP |
