Cavendish suffered the ignominy of being the only member of the British track team in Beijing to finish without a medal.
The London event takes place from 2 to 6 March at the Lee Valley VeloPark. Britain have named a squad of 21 and include Scotland’s endurance cyclist Katie Archibald and sprinter Callum Skinner.
