Andrew Baggaley and Sue Gilroy will be able to defend their Commonwealth Games table tennis titles after being named in England's team for Melbourne. Baggaley won gold medals in the men's doubles and team event on the sport's Games debut in Manchester in 2002.
Gilroy won the women's wheelchair singles title three years ago.
The 10-strong team also includes 15-year-old Paul Drinkhall and Alan Cooke, who will turn 40 during the Games next March.
Cooke competed at the Seoul and Barcelona Olympics and won the men's singles title at the 1989 Commonwealth Championships while he was a coach at the Games three years ago.
The men's line-up is completed by Andrew Rushton.
England field two of the four Manchester disability medallists as Gilroy, who only dropped one set in her seven matches in Manchester, is joined by Cathy Mitton.
She won bronze at the Games and gold in the class four category at last month's European Championships.
The line-up also includes Georgina Walker and Helen Lower, who both took part in Manchester, and teenagers Joanna Parker and Kelly Sibley.
