World Cup of Darts: Rob Cross will team up with Dave Chisnall
The PDC world champion is making his World Cup of Darts debut at the Frankfurt tournament in a new-look England side.
This will be the first time England have had neither Adrian Lewis or Phil Taylor representing them since its inception in 2010.
32 two-player nations will compete, looking to take the crown from last year’s winners, the Netherlands.
The three-time winners will once again be represented by Michael van Gerwen and Raymond van Barneveld.
2015 finalists Scotland will have Peter Wright and Gary Anderson on the oche as they look to improve on last year’s display when they suffered a shock first-round defeat to Singapore.
Paul Lim and Harith Lim were the surprise package of last year’s tournament as they reached the quarter-finals.
