Kenny, Cundy and Bristow will be aiming for more success in Manchester

The trio form part of a 15-strong team for the event which takes place in Manchester from 6-8 November.

Newcomers Neil Fachie, Lora Turnham and Russ White will all make their world track debuts.

Scot Fachie, who switched from athletics last year, will ride in the tandem events with the experienced Barney Storey.

Storey won gold in Beijing with Anthony Kappes but Kappes is not competing as his new pilot former Olympian Jason Queally is not eligible for international competition until next year.
