The Hong Kong Table Tennis Association has named players set to compete at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, to be held from 26 August to 1 September. The men's lineup is the same as the 2018 World Team Championships squad consisting of Wong Chun Ting, Jiang Tianyi, Ho Kwan Kit, Lam Siu Hang and Ng Pak Nam. Whereas the women's team has four of the World Championships team members, Lee Ho Ching, Doo Hoi Kem, Ng Wing Nam, Soo Wai Yam Minnie in addition to Li Ching Wan.
Team Hong Kong has been a powerhouse in the Asian region. They may not be as dominant as the Chinese but they manage to walk away with at least a medal at every Asian Games since 1990. Although the 2018 Asian Games has dropped the doubles events, at which Team Hong Kong is traditionally strong, the team has a pretty good chance in winning a medal at the mixed doubles event, which they will send Wong Chun Ting / Doo Hoi Kem, the 2017 World Championships mixed doubles bronze medalist and Ho Kwan Kit / Lee Ho Ching.
Find below is the lineup for the 2018 Asian Games:
Men's Team: Wong Chun Ting, Jiang Tianyi, Ho Kwan Kit, Lam Siu Hang and Ng Pak Nam
