World Cup of Darts 2024: Full schedule, results, stream, TV and teams for iconic tournament in Frankfurt
ALL eyes are trained on Frankfurt as the World Cup of Darts returns TONIGHT – but Luke Littler will NOT be featuring in the iconic tournament.
Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton fired Wales to victory in the 2023 edition, but The Iceman will also be missing because of health issues.
Clayton will be joined by World No 44 Jim Williams as the Welsh look to defend their title.
Fans believe Littler should be representing England following his heroic Premier League Darts final win against Luke Humphries.
However, PDC rules see The Nuke miss out on the opportunity for him to play at the competition.

Why is Luke Littler not playing at the World Cup of Darts?
Littler will not be able to play for England at the World Cup of Darts because the two highest-ranked English players in the PDC Order of Merit are picked.
The Nuke is currently 25th in the Order of Merit, whereas Luke Humphries and Michael Smith are ranked first and second respectively.
That means Humphries and Smith are in line to represent England.
