THERE will be a staggering 40 nations competing in this year’s World Cup of Darts – and the pairings for each country have been confirmed!
It came home last year as Luke Humphries and Michael Smith fired England to glory after beating Austria’s pairing of Rowby-John Rodriguez and Menseur Suljovic 10-6 in the final.

And not only did that victory end a seven-year English drought, but it also put England ahead of the Netherlands as the outright record holders with five triumphs.
World No1 Humphries will be hoping he can retain the title as he gets the chance to represent his country once again.
But Cool Hand is set to have a different partner to last year – a certain former Premier League winner and millionaire teen sensation.
