Ryan Jenkins heads a strong Wales table tennis team named for the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. The 26-year-old will be looking to better the silver medal he secured at the Manchester Games in the doubles alongside Adam Robertson.
Jenkins hopes to continue the rich vein of form he is in this year.

Harris won bronze in the team event at the European Championships in Italy in September with Sue Gilroy, who has been selected on the England team and is one of the favourites for gold.
