Kelly Morgan has been named in Wales' badminton team for March's Commonwealth Games - just four months after becoming a mother for the first time. The 1998 champion and Welsh number one has only just returned to full training, but she will compete in the singles and mixed doubles at Melbourne.
Her partner will be Richard Vaughan, who will also play in the singles.
Martyn Lewis, Matthew Hughes, Jonathan Morgan and James Phillips complete the six-strong team.
Lewis, 23, will play in the singles as well as partnering Hughes, 27, in the doubles. They are Britain's top men's doubles pair.
Morgan, 26, and Phillips, 21, will also be looking for a good run in the men's doubles.
Said team manager Clyd Davies: "We have selected the strongest possible team for the Games � one that will pose a real threat to the rest of the field when they take to courts in Melbourne.
"These athletes have already proved their potential on the world stage.
"In Kelly we have a previous Commonwealth champion; in Richard we have a Commonwealth bronze medallist; and in Matthew and Martyn we have a doubles duo that has developed the experience to be able to beat the best on their day."
