Rio 2016 gold medallist Will Bayley has been named in a 13-strong Para-table tennis squad for the Tokyo Paralympics.

Like Bayley, Rob Davies will also defend his Paralympic title from five years ago.

Fellow Rio medallists Ross Wilson and Aaron McKibbin, who won bronze in the men's class 6-8 team event alongside Bayley, have also been selected.

Sue Bailey will compete at her sixth Games, while it marks a fourth for Paul Karabardak and David Wetherill.

Ashley Facey Thompson and Jack Hunter-Spivey will be attending their second Paralympics, while Tokyo marks a debut Games for Tom Matthews, Megan Shackleton, Billy Shilton and Joshua Stacey.

"It means everything to me to compete for my country; to represent GB is what I live for and what I train for every day," said Bayley, 33.

"I get an extra bit of energy and drive to go for these moments because I know these chances don't come around very often.

"I'm playing the best table tennis of my career so I know this is a great opportunity for me and I want to show people what I can do."
