Despite Courtney Browne's successful run as the skipper of Barbados team, he got a berth in the West Indies national team only in April 1995. His wicketkeeping being his trumpcard.

He played 13 Tests but was eventually dropped and left in the wilderness for three years. He was recalled for the ICC knockout tournament in Kenya in October 2000.

He was then replaced again - this time, it appeared, for good - by Ridley Jacobs, whom he understudied on the 2000-01 tour of Australia without playing in a Test.

But nearly four years later, Browne was recalled out of the blue for the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy.
