Scarlets scrum-half Aled Davies is the only uncapped player in Warren Gatland's 37-man Wales squad for the Six Nations.
Bath fly-half Rhys Priestland was included after doing a U-turn on his post-World Cup decision to take a one-year international sabbatical.
Cardiff Blues pair Tom James and Josh Turnbull return to the squad - they last played for Wales in 2010 and 2014 respectively.
The front-row contingent is made up of props Gethin Jenkins, Paul James and Rob Evans, along with Samson Lee, Tomas Francis and Aaron Jarvis.
Scott Baldwin, Ken Owens and Kristian Dacey are named as the hookers.
The second row candidates are Alun Wyn Jones, Luke Charteris, Dominic Day, Bradley Davies, Jake Ball and Turnbull.
Four British and Irish Lions are named in the back-row - captain Sam Warburton, Dan Lydiate, Justin Tipuric and Taulupe Faletau. They are joined by James King and Ross Moriarty.
Uncapped scrum-half Davies is joined by regional team-mate Gareth Davies and Lloyd Williams.
Dan Biggar and Priestland are named as the fly-halves. Jonathan Davies, who missed the World Cup through injury, returns as expected alongside Jamie Roberts, Cory Allen and Tyler Morgan in the centres.
The back three players include the returning James, Hallam Amos, George North, Alex Cuthbert, Gareth Anscombe, Matthew Morgan and Liam Williams.
Gatland said: "We have selected a squad that rewards players form as well as picking a lot of experience and that continuity is important to us.
"We have picked a larger squad than normal, we have a few injuries at the moment - those players aren't too far away from getting back on the field so we are happy with the mix.
"Aled [Davies] is someone who has been on the radar the last couple of years and his selection is reward for his form."
Leigh Halfpenny and Scott Williams were not considered because of injuries. Scrum-half Rhys Webb, who suffered a serious ankle injury at the World Cup, is not included but could return to the squad for the later games.
Wales kick-off their 2016 campaign away to reigning champions Ireland on Sunday February 7 before welcoming Scotland to Cardiff the following Saturday.
