However, Brits will be away during this period, participating in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). Following the CPL stint, the national team will face India in a series of high-stakes matches, starting with a Test in Gqeberha on December 9. This series will include three ODIs and three T20Is. Brits is particularly enthusiastic about the opportunity to face India on home soil, as she believes there remains unfinished business between the two teams.",
