Littler will halt German 'ban' to play World Cup

- MIKE WALTERS

LUKE LITTLER will fly the flag at next month’s World Cup of Darts in Frankfurt - despite falling out with German crowds.

After booking his place in the BetMGM Premier League play-offs with three weeks to spare, ‘Luke the Nuke’ confirmed his boycott of German tournaments will not extend to England's defence of their crown from June 12-15.

Littler and world No.1 Luke Humphries will forge a ‘Lukes of Hazard’ double act at the Eissporthalle, ending speculation that the PDC world champion would skip the event after a rough ride from fans in Munich last month.
