Frame, Gough and Kennett are part of the endurance squad to join 21-year-old Pieter Bulling, who has developed into a key contributor in the engine room, and double Olympic medallist Marc Ryan who will provide the key leadership and experience.
"The form of the young endurance riders is undeniable and while some need more development especially in team pursuit, it's logical to give them that world championship experience now," Elliott said.
Gough is a current junior world champion who won the points race title at the national championships and is likely to contest the bunch racing events in Paris.
Frame has returned to focus on the track after riding for the development team of World Tour's Giant-Shimano, winning the scratch race at the weekend while Kennett took out the individual pursuit.
Aaron Gate will compete in the omnium although still not back to his best form.
Elliott said that as there are only four further opportunities for Gate to contest an international-quality omnium under its revamped format before Rio, his selection to Paris is important.
"Aaron is a former world champion in this event and with the right preparation will be a medal potential in Rio, although we recognize he is not in that sort of form at present."
The women's endurance squad remains unchanged after encouraging performances at the opening two world cups, currently ranked third in the Olympic nations rankings.
Racquel Sheath, 20, will contest the omnium while Rushlee Buchannan, Georgia Williams, Jaime Nielsen and Lauren Ellis will compete in the team pursuit.
Steph McKenzie, with four titles at the national championships, gets the nod as the key sprinter with Katie Schofield included as the best starter in the team sprint, while London Olympic Natasha Hansen, who only returned to the squad late last year, will be a potential contender in the future.
The jewel in the crown is the men sprint with all five current high performance squad riders included with Matt Archibald and Simon van Velthooven to provide cover for the world champion trio of Sam Webster, Ethan Mitchell and Eddie Dawkins.
The team have a further week of training at the Avantidrome before flying to Paris next Monday ahead of the championships on 18-22 February.
