"It's because the PDC think he's a boring player": Van Gerwen hits out at why Cross isn't selected for Premier League Darts

Michael van Gerwen lost 10-7 to Rob Cross in the quarter-finals of the Masters on Sunday afternoon. He was quite annoyed by his opponent's attitude during the match.

Van Gerwen, himself a five-time winner of the Masters, told Viaplay afterwards that he was quite annoyed with Cross. ''That cynical stuff, I find it weird. You can't say anything about his qualities though. He's a fantastic player."

The Dutchman then decided to deliver another sneer to the former world champion. ''Do you know why it is that the PDC didn't choose him for the Premier League? It's because the PDC also thinks he's a boring player. You either have that or you don't. Either you're a player with character, or you're not. He just doesn't have it. That silly laughing and acting."
