English darts player Ross Smith has made a strong case for his Premier League debut following his triumph at the Machineseeker European Championship, his second major televised title this season.
The 26-year-old expressed confidence in his current form, stating he 'definitely' merits a spot in the prestigious competition. Speaking after his European Championship victory, Smith highlighted his recent achievements as evidence of his readiness for the sport's biggest stage.
However, Smith acknowledged the reality of the selection process. 'I'm not the one who picks it,' he admitted, recognizing that the final decision rests with the tournament's selection committee. The Premier League typically features a limited field of elite players chosen based on rankings, recent performance, and commercial appeal.
This season has marked a significant breakthrough for Smith. His European Championship win adds to an earlier major title, demonstrating consistency at the highest level of competitive darts. These back-to-back victories have not only boosted his world ranking but also elevated his profile within the sport.
The Premier League represents one of darts' most coveted competitions, featuring weekly televised matches among the world's best players. Securing a debut would represent a major career milestone for Smith and validate his emergence as a top-tier competitor.
While Smith's recent success strengthens his credentials, the selection committee will weigh multiple factors when finalizing the lineup for the upcoming season. His public campaign for inclusion reflects both his confidence and ambition to compete at the sport's highest level.
