Raymond van Barneveld will not defend his World Cup of Darts title with the Netherlands because Jermaine Wattimena has qualified in his place.
Van Barneveld misses out because he is 30th on the PDC's Order of Merit and countryman Wattimena is sixth places higher, so will partner Michael van Gerwen.
It's another new look for England who are represented for the first time by Rob Cross and Michael Smith - who told the Darts Show podcast just how much he cannot wait to represent his country for the first time in anything
The Netherlands and England are the only winners of the World Cup of Darts, and have lifted the trophy four times each. Van Barneveld was involved in all of his nation's triumphs.
Wattimena will now step up to partner Van Gerwen in the absence of Van Barneveld, who plans to retire at the end of this year.
Gary Anderson and Peter Wright join forces for Scotland, while Simon Whitlock and Kyle Anderson represent Australia.
Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton play for Wales, Daryl Gurney and Brendan Dolan join up for Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland count on Steve Lennon and William O'Connor.
Host nation Germany are represented by Max Hopp and Martin Schindler while Kim Huybrechts and Dimitri van den Bergh play for Belgium.
Notably, Paul Lim is paired with Harith Lim for a sixth successive year for Singapore. Two years ago they sensationally upset Anderson and Wright of Scotland.
