Luke Humphries has advised fellow darter Luke Littler to keep practising. Littler has indicated in several interviews that he has not put in the hours, despite reaching the final of the World Darts Championship in early January.

The lack of time on the practice board hasn't hindered Littler so far, he still made it to two finals on the World Series of Darts in recent weeks. At the Bahrain Darts Masters, 'The Nuke' took the title by beating Michael van Gerwen in the final. At the Dutch Darts Masters in Den Bosch, the roles were reversed, with Van Gerwen winning over Littler in the final match.

Humphries finds it remarkable that Littler had not practiced more. “I wasn't surprised by his performance but I was surprised he hadn't practised since the world final. You have to be careful in this game to put in enough effort. If you feel like you have got to the point in your game where you are great and you are not practising, it will come back to bite you,'' Humphries tells Sky Sports.

''It is important he stays dedicated and practises hard because that is a point in the game where you can lose yourself,'' continued Humphries, who then came up with an example. ''I know players who have done that, Michael Smith has openly admitted he didn't practise all last year then all of a sudden he lost his form. So, I feel like that is a massive point in your game you have to focus on."
