Griffith has been named in the Breakers squad which will take on Thailand's Twenty20 women's team in two Twenty 20 matches at Bradman Oval in Bowral on Tuesday.
It will form part of Thailand's preparation for next year's Women's T20 World Cup.
As a member of Sydney Thunder's Women's Big Bash League outfit, Griffith has already had the chance to bowl to some of the world's leading T20 players.
Impressively the Bathurst talent sent down six dot balls to WBBL player of the tournament and New Zealand star Sophie Devine in one of Thunder's games against the Adelaide Strikers.
While the Thai players do not have that sort of experience and will be making their World Cup debut in February, they will no doubt be keen to impress against the Breakers.

Breakers head coach Dominic Thornely explained the fixtures came about through correspondence with Cricket Australia during the WBBL.
"I received a phone call mid-way through WBBL stating that Thailand were coming out to prepare for the World Cup," Thornely said.
"And me desperate for more cricket for the girls, more game time, I jumped at the opportunity to engage with the Thailand cricket team and their support staff."
Griffith, who joined her fellow Breakers training with the Thai outfit on Monday at ANZ Stadium, is one of 12 players named in the youthful NSW squad for the T20 fixtures.
As Thornley indicated, it will offer the Breakers important game time ahead of the resumption of the Women's National Cricket League in January.
Under Griffith's captaincy the Breakers won one of their two games played in the national competition thus far, a six-wicket triumph against South Australia.
The talented all-rounder played a hand in three dismissals in that match, taking two catches and producing a run-out.
