Joe Cullen slams "kick in the balls" as he's controversially omitted from Premier League

Joe Cullen has slammed Premier League Darts selectors as giving him a "kick in the balls" after being omitted from this year's tournament.

The world No.11 finished fourth in last year's Premier League table qualifying for the quarter-final stage where he beat Peter Wright. The Bradford thrower, nicknamed The Rockstar, then beat Jonny Clayton on his way to the final where he missed a dart to win the tournament before Michael van Gerwen beat him 11-10.

The world's top four players are automatically awarded a place in the tournament and Cullen is one of several high-profile players who felt they deserved one of the four spots decided by selectors.
