Athletics star Alastair Chalmers, a bronze medallist four years ago, will hope to follow it up over the 400m hurdles, while island bowls legend Ali Merrien is included with that sport moving indoors for this Games.

Boxer Tommy Teers is among the debutants named, with swimmers forming the bulk of the squad.

‘I am extremely pleased to be able to support a wonderful group of talented athletes at the Games,’ said chef de mission Peter Jory.

‘We will embrace the challenges of the multi-cultural and multi-sport Games that we expect to progress for future Games.’
