Mo Farah heads the English team at Commonwealth Games

Mo Farah celebrates his gold-medal winning performances in Barcelona

Farah broke the British 5,000m record at the Diamond League meeting in Zurich

Double European gold medallist Mo Farah has been named in a 100-strong English team for the 2010 Commonwealth Games which will be held in Delhi in October.

Farah, who won the 5,000m and 10,000m in Barcelona in July, is joined by reigning European and Commonwealth triple jump champion Phillips Idowu.

Christine Ohuruogu, who won Olympic 400m gold in Beijing in 2008, will also defend her Commonwealth title.

Lisa Dobriskey will look to replicate her 1500m win from Melbourne in 2006.

The 26-year-old from Kent won her first major medal at the Commonwealths four years ago and added a silver at the World Championships in Berlin last year.

But she missed out on a medal at the European Championships in Barcelona.

"To defend my title would mean a lot to me and the more racing experience I can get in championship events the better," she said.

"Other than next year's World Championships, there are very few such opportunities between now and London 2012."

Farah, who became the first Briton to break 13 minutes for the 5,000m when he broke David Moorcroft's 28-year-old record at a Diamond League meeting in Zurich earlier this month is looking to end his season on a high.

"After an amazing season, two gold medals in the European Championships and a new British 5,000m record, I hope to finish a fantastic summer season with another good performance in India," he said.
