The headline name among the able-bodied athletes is Paul Drinkhall, who won mixed doubles gold at Glasgow 2014 and will be looking to add more Commonwealth medals to his tally, which currently stands at four from three Games.

Commenting on his selection, Drinkhall said: "The Commonwealth Games is a huge event.

"It's something I've grown up wanting to win and obviously I managed to do that in the mixed doubles last time.

"We want to win the team gold.

"That's the first event and the first priority.

"For us, we've got the experience even though we're a young team, and we're up there with the favourites.

"In the singles, it's very similar, I'm looking to get to the medal matches.

"When you get into that position, anyone can win.

"It's just about giving yourself the best chance to have a go at it.

"I think there's a lot of players who can win it and no out-and-out favourite.

"It will be an interesting tournament."

Two more members of the side that won the silver medal in the team event at Glasgow 2014 have been selected for Gold Coast 2018 - Liam Pitchford and Sam Walker.

Two other Commonwealth Games medallists will join the squad for Gold Coast 2018 - Tin-Tin Ho, who won mixed doubles silver with Pitchford at Glasgow 2014, and Kelly Sibley, who will compete in her third Commonwealth Games and won bronze in the mixed doubles at Glasgow 2014.

Sibley expressed her excitement at going to a fourth Commonwealth Games.

"To be selected for any major Games is always exciting and I'm always really proud to represent England," she said.

"My first Commonwealths were in Australia in 2006 and to compete there again at my fourth Games is really exciting.

"I remember finishing fourth in Delhi in 2010 and I lost the deciding match against Malaysia.

"It was one of the worst feelings I've ever had but I used it to spur myself on and in Glasgow me and Danny [Daniel Reed] played fantastically to win that bronze.

"I've got good memories from Glasgow and it's still very fresh in the mind even though it was four years ago."

The three Para-table tennis players England are sending to Australia, Kim Daybell, Felicity Pickard and Ross Wilson, will all be making their Commonwealth Games debuts.

Daybell said: "I'm really excited.

"It's the first time Para has had a standing event.

"To be part of the first one is going to be very exciting and to go to Australia will be a good trip.

"It will be nice to stand side by side with the able-bodied players and get the same coverage and the same recognition.

"We are representing England rather than Great Britain and it will be interesting to see if it has a different feel to it.

"We could play against our colleagues from Scotland or Wales, who we've never had to play against before.

"I'm really looking forward to it."

The 11-strong squad will be challenging for nine medals across both table tenns and Para-table tennis at Gold Coast 2018 with competition running from April 5 to April 15 at Oxenford Studios.

Overall, England are sending approximately 600 athletes and staff across 18 sports in what will be the largest-ever team to represent the nation at an overseas sporting event.

The Games in Gold Coast take place from April 4 to 15.
