Littler Clarifies Germany Withdrawal, Will Play World Cup

Luke Littler has confirmed he will represent England at the World Cup of Darts in Frankfurt this June, partnering with Luke Humphries to defend the title. Littler clarified that his previous withdrawal from the European Darts Grand Prix in Germany was due to scheduling reasons, not crowd hostility, and that his comments about avoiding German events were unrelated to the World Cup. Sky Sports commentator Stuart Pyke supported Littler's explanation, addressing earlier speculation. Littler, 18, continues to lead the Premier League Darts table after a record fifth nightly win in Birmingham. Despite recent criticism and crowd reactions linked to his outspoken nature and social media activity, he remains focused and confident. Stephen Bunting, previously considered as a replacement, will no longer be needed for the team.
