Champions Trophy lasts for a very short duration

The current Champions Trophy lasted for only 18 days and a total of 15 matches were played. There is no harm for the teams to get together for such a short duration and compete at the highest level and get a chance to prove their might.

The teams that compete in the final play only 5 matches in the tournament and the winner becomes the champion of champions unlike in the World Cup which goes on for more than a month where plenty of matches are played to decide the winner.
