Modra, who will be joined by pilot Jason Niblett, won the 4-kilometre individual pursuit at three consecutive Paralympic Games from Athens 2004 to London 2012.

Felicity Johnson, who won 1km time trial gold at London 2012, is also in the Glasgow-bound team and will be piloted by Holly Takos.

Brandie O'Connor will be piloted by Breanna Hargrave, while Paul Kennedy will be piloted by Thomas Clarke.

It is the first time tandem Para-cycling has been included on the programme for a Commonwealth Games, with sprinting and time trial events.

"Our team is flush with experienced world, Commonwealth, Paralympic and Olympic Games champions and medallists," said Kevin Tabotta, national performance director of Cycling Australia.

"Having the Para-cycling team join the team for Glasgow will be a new and extremely positive experience for us, and we also have many debutants heading to Glasgow with big ambitions."

O'Connor will make her sixth Australian team off the back of impressive performances at April's Para-cycling Track World Championships in Mexico where she won two silver medals, while Kennedy is taking a break from international goalball to return to the track.

The Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games were the Australian cycling team's most successful, with 21 medals, including 14 gold..

Tabotta said: "Glasgow will surely be our greatest challenge with superb depth of fields, so the quality of competition will be first-rate and our team is preparing hard to challenge for podium spots."
