England will be looking to secure their first World Cup win since Phil Power and Adrian Lewis' last triumph in the tournament in 2016.

The pair were crowned four-time champions with England since the tournament began in 2010 and hold the record number of wins with the Netherlands.

World No1 Luke Humphries is set to represent England this summer but his partner will NOT be teenage sensation Luke Littler.

The 17-year-old was not picked as he is not one of the two highest-ranked England players in the PDC Order of Merit.
