Reddy will also compete in the mixed doubles event alongside Pranaav Jerry Chopra.

Ruthvika Shivani Gaade, a 2016 Uber Cup women's team bronze medallist, completes the 10-strong team.

General secretary of the Badminton Association of India (BAI) Anup Narang has talked up his side’s title chances.

"I feel we have strong chance to win the competition this year as our players have surged through the rankings and will give it their best shot at this prestigious event to bring laurels for the country," he told the Hindustan Times.

"It was tough to choose these players but after a long discussion we have chosen the ten best players to compete in the Commonwealth Games and we are positive that they will make the country proud."

In the mixed team competition India are the favourites.

They have been drawn in Group A alongside arch-rivals Pakistan along with Sri Lanka and Scotland.
