Gerwyn Price, the Welsh darts player, has withdrawn from Thursday night’s Premier League Darts in Aberdeen due to a back injury. Under tournament rules, Price’s quarter-final opponent, Luke Humphries, will receive a bye into the semi-finals, gaining two league points and a +1 leg difference. Price, on the other hand, receives a -6 leg difference on the league table. Humphries will face the winner of the semi-final match between Michael van Gerwen and Rob Cross.
England faces a difficult decision regarding the inclusion of Jamie Overton in their T20 World Cup squad due to an inconclusive back scan. Overton’s injury has raised concerns about his availability, potentially opening the door for Chris Jordan’s recall. The selection panel will also consider the wicketkeeper’s role, with Phil Salt and Jonny Bairstow being potential options. The ECB’s stance on players participating in the IPL knockout stages will also impact the squad announcement, expected on Tuesday morning.
