Stephen Bunting, Kim Huybrechts handed Premier League wildcards

PDC chairman Barry Hearn has revealed that Stephen Bunting and Kim Huybrechts will feature in the 2015 Premier League.

After Gary Anderson had defeated Phil Taylor in a classic World Championship final, Hearn announced that the duo would make their first appearance in the 16-week tournament which starts in Leeds on February 5.

Defending champion Raymond van Barneveld was also selected for a wildcard, as were Peter Wright, James Wade and Dave Chisnall.

World number one Michael van Gerwen, Taylor, Anderson and Adrian Lewis all qualify for the 10-man league due to featuring in the top four of the PDC Order of Merit.
