The selection comes after Porch bagged a hat-trick for Australia at the Vancouver Sevens earlier this month.
Australia’s Men’s Sevens team won bronze four years ago at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and claimed silver at Delhi in 2010.
Australian Men’s Sevens coach Andy Friend said the team are focused on the Commonwealth Games.
“We targeted three major tournaments at the start of the season and the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast was one of those,” Friend said.
“We have been in some good form this season so far but I know we still have room to grow with just under a month left before the games.
“In this squad I think we have an extremely talented group of players with the right mix of youth and experience so I’m looking forward to seeing this team perform to the best of their potential on the Gold Coast.”
