"Wanted my best mate with me": Smith gutted after Cullen snubbed for Premier League Darts return

The Premier League kicks off on Thursday. Who will not be there this year is Joe Cullen, much to the regret of his good friend Michael Smith.

Cullen lost 11-10 against Michael van Gerwen in last year's Premier League final. 'The Rockstar' even missed a match darts. But this year, the world number 12, who won the Masters last year, was not invited.
