Four-time Olympic gold medallist Laura Kenny and six-time Olympic champion Jason Kenny will both feature at the event in Pruszkow, Poland.
Ed Clancy, Kian Emadi, Ethan Hayter and Charlie Tanfield, who won gold in the men’s team pursuit last year, plus women’s madison champions Katie Archibald and Emily Nelson are also in the Great Britain squad.
Vicky Williamson, who fractured her neck and back, dislocated her pelvis and slipped a disc in her neck in a crash in 2016, also competes.
Laura Kenny says the GB team are looking to lay down a marker ahead of the 2020 Olympics. “If we can medal across all the Olympic events, that would be a good standard and would be us moving forward,” she said.
