Luke Littler has been one of the world's standout players in darts, but the young Englishman will not be able to represent his country in the World Cup of darts

Instead, Littler's Premier League darts semi-final opponent Michael Smith and the man who beat him in the Paddy Power PDC World Darts Championship final, Luke Humphries, will represent the country in Germany. The competition begins in Frankfurt on June 16 and ends on June 19.

Littler earned his place at Alexandra Palace by winning the World Youth Darts Championship in November 2023. The table states Littler has managed to rake in £303,500 over the course of the two year period. Littler will likely surge up the table if he carries on playing the way he is. He booked himself a place in the last-four at the 02 Arena by finishing at the top of the Premier League table.

"I've got Michael, everybody is saying it's going to be tough but this is what it comes down to," Littler said to Sky Sports. "As long as you get yourself into the top four, you've just got to give it your all and see what happens.
