 Brown played in the World Cup for Scotland |
Warwickshire and Scotland batsman Dougie Brown has been appointed chairman of the the Professional Cricketers' Association (PCA). The PCA is the representative body for past, present and future First-Class cricketers in England and Wales.
The election was keenly contested, with former England players Dominic Cork and Chris Adams also standing.
Brown said: "It's a great honour and I intend to build on the great work already being undertaken by the PCA."
Brown has represented Warwickshire on the PCA Executive Board for 10 years and has been vice-chairman for five.
Richard Bevan, PCA group chief executive, said: "The office of chairman is the most prestigious and important role in the PCA.
"Martyn Ball has done a fantastic job for us and Dougie's appointment is testimony to the esteem and trust placed in him by his peers.
"Dougie is a popular, thinking man's cricketer with a wholehearted 'never say die' attitude.
"He has attributes that every cricketer can identify with and in his role for the association over the past decade he has shown himself to be a passionate believer in all we stand for."
