Gulidjan quick Scott Boland has earned selection for the third Test in Jamaica with Australia opting against an available Nathan Lyon for the first time since 2013.
Boland travelled with the Test squad to the West Indies after being overlooked for the World Test Championship final at Lord's last month, coming in for just his fifth international red ball match away from home.
The perennial 12th man's selection makes it the first time Australia have opted for a four-pronged quick attack in over a decade, and Boland's first time playing alongaside big three; Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and skipper Pat Cummins.
It comes as the tourists line up for a day-night fixture at Kingston's Sabrina Park.
Near fifties from Cameron Green and Steve Smith helped Australia to 225 all-out on Sunday morning (Australian time) before Starc sent the home side to stumps 1-16 from their nine overs at the crease.
Boland had a maiden from his sole over.
"An unusual selection for us, it's not something we generally want to do," selector Tony Dodemaide told reporters.
"It's certainly fair to say it wasn't front of mind when we first got here to Sabina Park.
"What we found here with the data – limited data that we have on particularly the pink Dukes ball – is that it behaves a little differently to the Kookaburra one, it doesn't go as soft."
The Windies use the UK-made leather for home Tests.
Boland has seldom used the Dukes ball in international cricket - on just three occasions touring in England for seven wickets in three appearances.
The seamer does however have a proven record with the pink ball boasting 25 wickets at an average a touch under 14 runs from six matches.
He took figures of 5/105 in Adelaide over the most recent Australia summer.
"There's longer nights here (in Jamaica) – the night sessions are genuinely night sessions (and) dark conditions kick in. We know that's also very difficult for the batters as well," Dodemaide said.
"Based on all of that, we thought that spin would not really have a significant part in the game; the previous West Indies pink-ball Test, (leg-spinner Devendra) Bishoo bowled two overs for the game."
Australia are chasing a white-wash in the Carribean ahead of a home Ashes series this summer.
It's Boland's first Test since his match and Border-Gavaskar Series-winning 10fa against India at the SCG in January.
