Gurney wasn't expecting 2020 Premier League call: "I thought they were going to give it to Durrant and Chisnall and I was going to get left out"

Gurney thought that Dave Chisnall would have taken his spot and that its great for him that he is involved and that he will give it all he has got as a result.

'Superchin' believes that the best is yet to come and that he is looking forward to showing the darting world this when he takes his place among the elite starting tomorrow in Aberdeen.

"I'm buzzing, I can't wait to get at it. I've had not a month off but it's feels like a month, done a lot of exhibitions so it's actually got me back into practising hard," said Gurney to LiveDarts.

"I thought that they were going to give it to Glen (Durrant) and Dave (Chisnall) and I was going to get left out because I've had my two years in all honesty. I'll be up here trying to do the best job I can to show they picked the right man."

"The way I played average wise I played better than I played in the last two years, more consistent. I was doing a lot of 97 averages but it's not enough to be winning all the tournaments so I need to get that back up."

"There's always room for improvement. I'm still ready for the fight, I feel like I haven't played my best game and I'm ready to go out and beat the best players in the world again."
