In the early hours of Saturday morning (AEDT), cricket fans will get to witness a rare bowling action at ambivalent Australian spinner Nivethan Radhakrishnan in the U19 Cricket World Cup.
Born in Chennai before moving to Sydney at the age of 10, Radhakrishnan has been bowling finger spin with both right and left hands since being encouraged by his father to do so at the age of six.
Contracted from Tasmania, the IPL net bowler from Delhi will play his first U-19 World Cup match for Australia against hosts West Indies.
Australia's road to the tournament has not been easy.
They are unable to organize carnivals or full camps under the age of two.
They had an extra day of quarantine in the Caribbean, after four false-positives in the group before losing the warm-up to India.
But players and officials are still confident.
Perth wicketkeeper Cooper Connolly will captain the team after scoring a century in the practice match.
Radhakrishnan said to you, "We have such a good squad."
"The conditions don't really matter.
"Because whatever is thrown at us, we have the best combination of players to attack on that particular day."
Radhakrishnan can play an important role.
He batted at number 3 in the practice game, and then offered a special variation with his bowling depending on the playing conditions and the batsman.
"The more you change it, the higher your chances of survival (on batting wickets)," Radhakrishnan said.
"It's not just random.
"I try to use my knowledge of my bowling and what I can tell about the batsman.
"When a batsman plays one way I imagine if I do it it could be something special in a few overs."
Having supported his right hand to grow up, he now believes he has reached the same potential with both hands.
There are few other examples of truly ambidextrous spinners around the world, with the WBBL's Gemma Barsby being the only other in Australia.
But Radhakrishnan cautions that while developing it is not an easy skill, it was possible for him to maintain it only because he started at such a young age.
Radhakrishnan said, "Once you're in your teens, you're a bit off mentally as well."
"Even by the time I was 12, I was very, very good with my left hand. I was almost as good with my right hand.
"I certainly don't think I would be where I am now (if I only started bowling fuzzy as a teenager) I wouldn't be).
"I think I would have been a right-arm off-spinner for Australia's Under-19s and probably a left-arm orthodox in Tasmanian second grade."
Radhakrishnan will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of former Australia Under-19 spinner Lloyd Pope, who scored 8-35 in the 2018 Under-19 quarterfinal against England.
