I consider it as 1st champions Trophy.How is dessert storm cup missing from the list?
Also, was 1985 Benson & Hedges cup an ICC tournament? It was huge.
Apparently organized by ACB, not ICC. So it should qualify to be in the list.I consider it as 1st champions Trophy.
It was also Benson & Hedges. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Championship_of_CricketIt was called the World Championship of Cricket. The Benson & Hedges series was the 1986 one, which I think we also won. But that was a smaller event, IIRC.

What a glorious tournamentThe 1998 Nidahas Trophy, known as the Singer Akai Nidahas Trophy for sponsorship reasons, was a One Day International cricket tournament staged in Sri Lanka between 19 June and 7 July 1998, to commemorate the 50 years of Sri Lanka's independence and Sri Lanka Cricket, known then as the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka, the governing body of cricket in Sri Lanka.[1]
The competition involved Sri Lanka, India and New Zealand. Each team played every other team three times, and the two teams with most points progressed to the final. The event was marred by rain, with five of the nine qualifying matches abandoned. Sri Lanka won three matches while India won one in the group stage, before India won the final beating the former by 6 runs.[2] Sri Lanka's Aravinda de Silva who scored 368 runs was named player of the series.[3]
