In November 2021, he was named in South Africa's team for the 2022 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies.[6] During the tournament, he scored two centuries and three fifties,[7] and was named the Player of the Tournament, after scoring 506 runs.[8] In February 2022, Brevis was bought by the Mumbai Indians in the 2022 Indian Premier League auction.[9]
