Australian batsman Cameron White has been named as the Cricket World® Player Of The Week after making an excellent start to the One-Day International series against Pakistan.

In the opening match in Brisbane, he helped Australia win by five wickets, his innings of 105 in 88 balls seeing them past a tricky target of 275 and the Victorian entertained the crowd by hitting eight fours and four sixes on his way to a second ODI century.

Two days later, White was in the runs again, this time scoring 55 in 58 balls as Australia posted 267 for six in a game they would go on to win by 140 runs. His innings included four fours and one six and while he was excelling for Australia, Victoria were winning the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash for a fourth time.

Other contenders for the weekly award included White's team-mate Clint McKay, Bangladeshi Mahmudullah and Afghanistan's Dawlat Ahmadzai.

Cricket World® Player Of The Week
There can be only two possible contenders for this week's Cricket World Player of the Week award and it is virtually impossible to separate them. Stuart Broad took the man of the match award at Lord's for leading the second innings demolition of New Zealand, but without James Anderson's first innings five-fer there might not have been much of a run chase for the Black Caps on day four.
There can be only one winner of this week's Cricket World Player of the Week award. Zimbabwe's captain Brendan Taylor almost single-handedly led his side's batting in the Test win over Bangladesh in Harare, becoming the first Zimbabwe captain to score a century in each innings of a Test match.
There was international cricket action in both the women's cricket and associate cricket arenas over the past week. Namibia beat the Netherlands in the ICC Intercontinental Cup in Windhoek, while India Women completed a six-nil clean sweep of Bangladesh Women by winning the three One-Day Internationals in Ahmedabad.
With the start of the latest edition of the Indian Premier League, there has been only women's international cricket action over the past week. The three-match Twenty20 series in Vadodara between India Women and Bangladesh Women was unsurprisingly won by India.
In the third ODI between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, Tillakaratne Dilshan struck a magnificent 125, but managed to end up on the losing side as Nasir Hossain chipped in with a crucial unbeaten 33 in the reduced Bangladesh run chase. Also in that match, Abdur Razzak became the first Bangladeshi to take 200 ODI wickets when he recorded the fourth five-wicket haul of his 141-match career. It is he who earns this week's award.
There are a multitude of strong contenders for this week's Cricket World Player of the Week award from Peter Fulton's twin centuries in the Auckland Test to Shane Shillingford's ten wickets against Zimbabwe and AB de Villiers' series-clinching innings in the final ODI against Pakistan. However, because his performance helped his side achieve a historic 4-0 whitewash over Australia Ravindra Jadeja just pinches it due to his excellence in Delhi.
