She keeps the captaincy ahead of Shandre Fritz, who is back in the squad for her first international match after injuring her neck in a swimming pool accident.
The finalists from the Lahore event will qualify for the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2009 in Australia. South Africa are grouped in pool A, which also includes Bermuda, Netherlands and Papua New Guinea.
Brits, 23, had first stood-in for the injured Fritz for this year's home one-day series against Pakistan, which South Africa won 4-0. She then captained the side to a 3-0 series whitewash in a Test series against the Netherlands.
The squad will gather at the High Performance Centre in Pretoria on November 13 and leave for Pakistan three days later.
