The CAB Jubilee Tournament, also known as Hero Cup for sponsorship reasons, was a cricket tournament played in India in 1993 to commemorate the Cricket Association of Bengal's diamond jubilee.[1] India, Sri Lanka, West Indies, South Africa and Zimbabwe took part in the multi-nation tournament. Envisaged as a six-nation tournament Pakistan pulled out on 3 November 1993, four days before the commencement of the first game.[2] India beat West Indies in the final of the tournament to win the Hero Cup.[3] Hero Cup was the first cricket event to be sponsored by Hero Honda.[4]
