When picking this week's award winner, it is hard to look beyond the Tri-Nations tournament in Zimbabwe and that competition's man of the series, Hamilton Masakadza, who struck 205 runs from his four matches last week - including three half centuries - to lead the hosts to what was an unexpected, albeit very popular, triumph.
West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has been fined 20 percent of his match fee after breaching the International Cricket Council (ICC) Code of Conduct.

With England leading the series 2-0, they have been replaced with Stuart Meaker, Chris Woakes and James Tredwell respectively.
England wrapped up their three-match series with a game to spare by trouncing West Indies by eight wickets at The Oval.
The visitors were always going to struggle to defend their total of 238 for nine, and so it proved as Alastair Cook and Ian Bell put on 122 for the first wicket.
This week's award goes to this week's only centurion. Ian Bell struck 126 from only 117 balls for England in Saturday's first One-Day International against West Indies at Southampton.

England have added Warwickshire all-rounder Chris Woakes to their squad for the final two One-Day Internationals against the West Indies.

Ian Bell stroked a classy century and Tim Bresnan took four wickets as England comfortably won the first One-Day International against the West Indies by 114 runs.
Bell's 126 helped England post 286 for eight and they maintained an excellent record at the ground by dismissing the West Indies, who had been set a Duckworth/Lewis revised target of 287 in 47 overs, for 172.

The West Indies warmed up for their One-Day International series against England with a thumping 228-run win over Middlesex at Lord's.
