Anna Hursey is thought to be the youngest athlete ever to represent Wales at a senior level

Anna Hursey has been included in Wales women's table tennis team for the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Hursey was aged 11 when she became the youngest athlete to compete at the Commonwealth Games at Gold Coast 2018.

Charlotte Carey and Chloe Thomas Wu Zhang, who also competed four years ago, are included along with teenage debutant Lara Whitton.

"We feel this is a strong team that could perform and improve on our position from the 2018 Games," said Table Tennis Wales CEO Rhian Pearce.

"We are delighted that our Gold Coast team of Charlotte, Chloe and Anna will be reunited and will be joined by Lara, who has played outstandingly this year."
