Yes as long as the bowler is given the liberty of suprising the batsman by bowling with a different hand. Currently , before every over, the bowler has to inform the batsman, via the umpire, which hand he is going to use and which side of the wicket he is bowling from. If the batsman can simply change his stance midway through an over without informing anybody, why can't the bowler ?

This question was raised before and ICC had no clear explanation. They are trying to give all the advantage to the batsmen. No more than 1 bouncer, free hits, now switch hitting. All in favor of the batsman. The only help the bowler got was the degree he could bend while bowling.
