Cursor.SetCursor not working in Unity 4.6

Hey Guys,

I am working on a Hidden Object Game and i need the cursor to change to a hand when it hovers over a Object. So I added the Event Triggers component to the Object and selected OnPointerEnter as the event and set the function that changes the cursor to a hand when it hovers but this does not seem to work. I am not sure if there is anything wrong in the code or if it only works in OnMouseEnter or the real issue.

My Code :

 public Texture2D tex;
 
 public void Hover ()
 {
      Cursor.SetCursor (tex, Vector2.zero, CursorMode.Auto);
 }
