Introduction
The Davis Cup is one of the largest sporting events in the history of the men's tennis. Some members of the Harvard University Tennis Team tried to arrange a tennis match with the British team in 1899. This idea was given approval by the lawn tennis association and hence forth Dwight Davis went on to design a tournament format. In the year 1900 the first tennis match was played between United States and Great Britain. At this time of period the tournament was called the international lawn tennis challenge, initially in 1945 it was renamed as the Davis cup following the death of Dwight Davis. United States and Australia are the two teams who have won this competition for number of times that is 31 and 28 respectively. The 1992 Davis Cup was the 81st edition of the most important sporting event in the men's tennis. In this year's competition there were more teams than the previous years, as a result there was an addition of one more group that is group 3 in all the respective zones. All together there were about 92 teams taking part in this competition and Bangladesh at the 1992 Davis Cup was one on them.
