Let us introduce you to Will from Accounts.
Will Somerville is potentially poised to make his international debut at the age of 34.
The former Otago player was called into the test squad for the series against Pakistan last week as a replacement for the unlucky Todd Astle.
He has a chance of playing, despite the late call-up, as well. His stock ball will spin away from the left-handers in the Pakistan batting line-up and that could prove handy when the first test gets under way at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi this evening (New Zealand time).
Somerville has not long been with the camp but he has already picked up a nickname.
Fans on social media have taken to calling him Will from Accounts. It is a play on his former job as an accountant. In that sense, he is more qualified for the new moniker than All Black Ben Smith, who occasionally gets called Ben from Accounts.
"Oh dear, that takes me back a few years," Somerville said. "I did five years of accounting but that seems a long time ago now.
"I'm sort of pinching myself a little bit. I'm extremely grateful for the last five years I've had as a professional cricketer.
"I wasn't sure it was going to happen at 30 but I got an opportunity with New South Wales and things rolled on."
Somerville made his first-class debut for Otago in 2005 as a 20-year-old but left Dunedin for Sydney fours years later.
He toiled away in grade cricket until he was picked up by New South Wales in 2014.
But he turned down a contract with the state this season and returned home to New Zealand. He signed for Auckland with the intention of pressing for a spot in the Black Caps and his persistence has paid off.
"It is definitely exciting [to be here]. It was nice to get in the nets ... and get a feel for the conditions here and get used to the heat.
"It is a bit slow but there was a little bit of turn which is good. That is something that is exciting, I suppose.
"If the wickets do break up a bit towards the back end of this test then the spinners will come into play a bit."
The Black Caps have three specialist spinners in the test squad. Leg spinner Ish Sodhi and Central Districts left-armer Ajaz Patel are also vying for a starting spot, so there is plenty of competition.
If Somerville gets the nod he will have support in the crowd.
"My parents are coming for the first couple of tests and my wife is going to come for the third.
"It will be nice to have them over here for sure."
Somerville said he had not had any indication whether he would play in the opening test.
"I've no clue, really. I'll just wait for that tap on the shoulder if it comes."
Black Caps bowling coach Shane Jurgensen said whoever gets the call up, discipline and patience would be key attributes.
"The wickets tend to be slow and low ... so we just have to be really accurate and really pin-point how we want to attack their batters.
"The ball may reverse swing later on through our seamers but we will need just as much pressure and, hopefully wicket-taking ability, from our spinners."
Jurgensen said Somerville had settled into his work and, with his height and ability to turn the ball, he could be a "formidable force".
