16-year-old darts sensation Luke Littler has been chosen as one of the participants in the 2024 Premier League. This comes after his impressive performance at the World Darts Championship, where he made it to the final but fell short against top-ranked player Luke Humphries.

Littler's fairytale run

During his incredible journey at the World Darts Championship, Littler managed to defeat the legendary Raymond van Barneveld and the 2018 world champion Rob Cross. These victories earned him a well-deserved spot in the prestigious Premier League, making him the youngest player ever to compete in the event.

In an interview with Sky Sports News, Littler expressed his disbelief and excitement about his inclusion in the Premier League. He described it as an "unbelievable" opportunity and acknowledged that it would be a remarkable experience. Littler also mentioned that while participating in the Premier League, he might have to take a break from a few ProTours, but he is fully committed to making the most of this incredible opportunity.
