The teen sensation will not take part in the tournament in Germany with Michael Smith and Luke Humphries selected due to rankings.
James Wade has quashed talks of altering the World Cup of Darts rules after young sensation Luke Littler was excluded from the England team.
Explaining his views in to the Daily Star, he said: "There has been a clamour for Luke Littler to be included in the England squad, but the World Cup teams have always been based on rankings. It's nonsense some want to change that just to skewer their favourite players into the event. Luke Littler will be there soon enough on his own merit."
"It would be the union who get the blame for letting them change the rules and I think it would cause a lot of upset for the players. They could even boycott if there is a late change of the regulations. It reminds me of them trying to fast-track Raymond van Barneveld into the Premier League when he moved over .", reports the Express.
The teenage sensation recently discussed his approach to managing his schedule and the pressures of the circuit. When questioned about his attendance at events, Littler remarked: "Not really. I can pick and choose what I want to play because my rankings are good and I've qualified for almost every event so I just pick and choose. "If I'm not up to it and the travelling is killing me off, I'll just have a week off.
