The amount of travel, the athletes' training schedule and the impact of COVID-19 restrictions means that not all athletes are able to attend every meet. Dina Asher-Smith and Laura Muir have not travelled to Doha however there is still some British interest.

British record holder Holly Bradshaw will compete in the pole vault while European Indoor Champion Keely Hodgkinson will compete in the 800m.

Former European champion Adam Gemili will be in 200m action just five days after his sixth place finish in Gateshead while British Champion Daniel Rowden will compete alongside Jamie Webb in the 800m.
