Since readmission, South Africa has been on the podium every single time at the Commonwealth Games.

South Africa will be represented by 16 players this year, of which four medaled at the 2018 games in Gold Coast, Australia.

This team also includes the para bowlers that will be in action.

They include Colleen Piketh and Esmé Kruger.

In 2014 at the Glasgow games, Piketh won a gold medal in the women's pairs with Tracy-Lee Botham as well as a bronze medal in the women's singles.

In Gold Coast she won the silver in the women's pairs with Nicolene Neal and claimed the bronze in the women's singles for a second time.

The Commonwealth Games starts on Thursday night with the opening ceremony and the bowls competition starts on Friday morning at Victoria Park.
