Pakistan left-arm fast bowler Mohammad Aamer has been named as the Cricket World® Player Of The Week after he helped his side to two wins in as many days over Australia.

The 18-year-old starred with both bat and ball as Pakistan took a 2-0 Twenty20 International series win as they made a triumphant return to England - the venue for their 2009 ICC World Twenty20 triumph.

In the opening game at Edgbaston, Aamer was unbeaten on 11 as Pakistan posted 167 for eight and he then returned three for 27 from his four overs, taking the wickets of Shane Watson, Cameron White and Steve Smith as Australia were dismissed for 144.

Aamer was in even better form in the second game, when his unbeaten 21 in 11 balls steered Pakistan to a score of 162 for nine, which again proved to be a winning total.

Aamer then dismissed David Warner, Michael Clarke and Mitchell Johnson to return three for 27 once again as Pakistan sealed victory by 11 runs.

Other contenders for the weekly award included Ireland's Kevin O'Brien, Afghanistan's Nowroz Mangal, England's Ian Bell, Charlotte Edwards and Jonathan Trott and Bangladesh's Shafiul Islam and Raqibul Hasan and Netherlands' Tom Cooper.

Cricket World® Player Of The Week

CW Players Of The Week - James Anderson & Stuart Broad

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.

Cricket World Player Of The Week - Brendan Taylor

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.

Cricket World Player Of The Week - Harmanpreet Kaur

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.

Cricket World Player Of The Week - Poonam Raut

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.

Cricket World Player Of The Week - Abdur Razzak

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.

Cricket World Player Of The Week - Ravindra Jadeja

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.
