			The '''1992–93 SAARC Quadrangular''' was the inaugural [[SAARC Quadrangular]] cricket tournament. It started in [[Dhaka]], [[Bangladesh]] in December 1992 amidst great enthusiasm and excitement.

	==~~A novel idea~~==		==Background==
			4 teams, the 'A' teams from neighbouring [[India]], [[Pakistan]] and [[Sri Lanka]], and the full national team of the host country participated in the event. Due to the volatile political situation arising in the sub-continent, the tournament had to be abandoned at the League stage. Thus, there was no winners of the tournament.
	~~Throughout~~ the 80'~~s a number of international~~ teams from the test playing nations toured Bangladesh. Most of these teams were made up retired professionals or amateurs. With Bangladesh cricket entering its professional days such tours were no longer very helpful. The local cricket authority, ~~after some thought~~, ~~decided to introduce~~ the ~~concept~~ of ~~SAARC cricket. It provided~~ the ~~chance for~~ the ~~Bangladeshi cricketers~~ to ~~fight against~~ the ~~up-and-coming cricketing talents of~~ the sub-continent. ~~Though~~, ~~this initial attempt ended abruptly, eventually this concept became a great success~~.

The '''1992–93 SAARC Quadrangular''' cricket Tournament started in [[Dhaka]], [[Bangladesh]] in December 1992 amidst great enthusiasm and excitement. 4 teams, the 'A' teams from neighbouring [[India]], [[Pakistan]] and [[Sri Lanka]], and the full national team of the host country participated in the event. Due to the volatile political situation arising in the sub-continent, the tournament had to be abandoned at the League stage. Thus, there was no winners of the tournament.

==A novel idea==

Throughout the 80's a number of international teams from the test playing nations toured Bangladesh. Most of these teams were made up retired professionals or amateurs. With Bangladesh cricket entering its professional days such tours were no longer very helpful. The local cricket authority, after some thought, decided to introduce the concept of SAARC cricket. It provided the chance for the Bangladeshi cricketers to fight against the up-and-coming cricketing talents of the sub-continent. Though, this initial attempt ended abruptly, eventually this concept became a great success.

India came to the tournament with the strongest team, and they were the favourites to lift the trophy. The didn't get the chance to do that, but some of the players were rewarded for their brilliant performances. Both [[Vinod Kambli]] and off-spinner [[Rajesh Chauhan]] made their test debut against England at Eden Garden, Calcutta, in Jan 1993. [[Navjot Singh Sidhu]] was recalled to open the batting, and he remained a regular member of the Indian national team till the end of the decade. [[Maninder Singh (cricketer)|Maninder Singh]], the captain of the 'A' team, was recalled briefly, for the one-off test Match against [[Zimbabwe cricket team|Zimbabwe]] in March 1993. [[Ajay Sharma]], the highest wicket taker of the tournament, earned himself a recall to the Indian ODI team. In contrast, the future Indian captain [[Sourav Ganguly]] played in all the games, but never got the chance to bat. His only over in the tournament, against the Pakistanis, went for 13 runs.

Pakistan didn't send their strongest available team. Instead, they gave opportunity to some youngsters. The openers, [[Basit Ali]] and Shaheed Anwar, impressed with their aggressive batting. Their seamers did well, but they didn't have the quality spinner required for slow turning pitches. The Lankan team was very weak, and they were badly beaten in all the games. Still, The pacer [[Graeme Labrooy]], bowled with plenty of heart.

For the hosts, their best moment came on the opening day, with a crushing defeat of the Lankans. The medium pacers [[Saiful Islam (cricketer, born 1969)|Saiful Islam]], [[Jahangir Alam Talukdar]] Dulu & [[Gholam Nousher]] Prince bowled the opposition out for a mere 85. The Abedin brothers, [[Nurul Abedin|Nobel]] & [[Minhajul Abedin|Nannu]], then did the rest. The seamers bowled well again against Pakistan, putting them under pressure initially, but at the end the hosts didn't have enough runs on the board.

==An eventual success==
Though the 1st SAARC Quadrangular ended abruptly, the idea lived on. And in Dec. 1994, the 2nd event took place successfully. India, led by [[Pravin Amre]] won the trophy, beating Bangladesh in the final. Pakistan won the 3rd event, (Feb. 1997) beating arch rivals India in a rain affected final. Bangladesh lost all their 3 games in 1997, but it was by no means a disgraceful performance, as the oppositions in this tournament were far superior to anything before. In fact, this tournament provided a very useful preparation for the team which went to win the [[1997 ICC Trophy|ICC Trophy]] in April. Soon, Bangladesh became a full member the ICC, & with Bangladesh regularly hosting full ODI matches the need for the SAARC tournament became obsolete. Nevertheless, there is still considerable amount of 'A' grade cricket played among the South Asian nations.
