Nitin Kumar will represent India for the third time at the World Cup of Darts after winning three qualifying tournaments in Kolkata this weekend.
Kumar, who previously competed for his country in 2014 and 2015, forms a team with debutant Mohan Kumar Goel this year. The latter managed to reach the final in two of the three qualifying tournaments, securing his spot alongside Kumar.
New Zealand's team composition is also now known. Mark Cleaver will compete alongside the country's number one Haupai Puha in Frankfurt. Cleaver secured his World Cup debut by achieving the highest position on the DPNZ Order of Merit, a 12-month ranking. He won four DPNZ titles during that period, staying ahead of Ben Robb, Puha's former teammate.
More duos will be announced next weekend. Events 13 through 16 are scheduled during the PDC Asian Tour, which takes place May 2 through 4 in Kuala Lumpur. Afterwards, the top two players from the Philippines, Japan and Hong Kong will form their country teams. In addition, three more countries will qualify through a special qualifying tournament on Sunday.
Argentina will make their BetVictor World Cup of Darts debut in June, after Jesus Salate and Victor Guillin won through the Championship Darts Latin America and Caribbean Qualifier in Panama! 🇦🇷

- The perfect darts player has to have the ability of Phil Taylor, looks of Chris Mason with the tan of Steve Beaton The throw, toughness and personality of Richie Burnett with Ted Hankey walk on music and the 9 darter celebration of Dean Winstanly. Mr Brightside always reminds me of Dean Winstanly as it was his original theme.richieburnettrocks18-06-2025
- Most of the players are already whinging about playing to much, unless something else is going to be axed where will another couple of competitions be squeezed in?Mysstree16-06-2025
- Indeed. The kid should grow up. Part of the game.SheGotLegs16-06-2025
- i also didn't see littler kicking off about this issue when it was his fans whistling and putting off opponents, which was happening on the regular during his first year on tour. humphries had to deal with it basically every time they played each other.colt16-06-2025
- Brilliant, Eric knew the risks and like most who die his age, bollox to being old and all that. Fair play to him and the rest of those who die young doing the same thing.Plaza15-06-2025
- So all of a sudden Littler is just a kid and it’s unfair as the Media’s darling golden boy gets the grief, never a problem though was it while it was Gerwyn Price. Been saying this for ages that something needs doing about crowd behaviour but the PDC don’t really care as long as the pissed up punters flock to Premier League night. The worry for the PDC is that as Littler has gone beyond the darts fan base and is the most high profile player in the world there is the risk that he is bigger than the PDC and then others with more clout (government for example) may start telling them to clean up their act. Bazza, Eddie and Porter will hate that.Mysstree15-06-2025
- As much as it's disappointing that England lost,Peter Wright's speculation didn't help himself and Gary either. It is, however, another pointless tournament. So,like the football club world cup,it means absolutely nothingrick6714-06-2025
