Current world 200m champion Dina Asher-Smith headlines the squad in the women’s 100m and 4x100m, with the 26-year-old defending her gold medal in the latter event from Gold Coast 2018. Birmingham will cheer on home-town hero Matthew Hudson-Smith, who will hope to harness the Alexander Stadium crowd and build on his current European 400m crown after smashing Iwan Thomas’ 25-year-old British 400m record at the Eugene Diamond League recently. Alongside marathon runners Jonny Mellor and Georgina Schwiening, who were confirmed as the first members of England’s athletics team last month, there are 21 para-athletes nominated.
