He will join the likes of Michael van Gerwen, Peter Wright and Gary Anderson in the league format. Cross thinks it will help him and wants to win it.
"I think the Premier League is going to be a bit of an eye-opener," said Cross. "I think it will help me, I really do, with the consistency of the weeks on TV.
"I'll enjoy it and hopefully I bring my best game with me, which I will. It could be a bit of a struggle at times but it's the same for us all and you've got to handle it better than your opponent.
"It's going to be different and it is going to be a test, but I think I'll deal with it, I think I'll do alright and the ambition is to win it."
