Fisher is the holder of the Nick Faldo Junior Series title

The 16-year-old, a semi-finalist in last month's British amateur championship, will beat Justin Rose's record set in 1997.

The match against the United States takes place at Chicago Golf Club, Illinois on 13 and 14 August.

2003 stars Gary Wolstenholme and Nigel Edwards are also named on the team.

Fisher, who was runner-up in the English stroke play championship in May, will be one month and 10 days younger than Rose when he tees off.

Wolstenholme will be playing in his sixth Walker Cup while Edwards will be making his third appearance in the competition and he is joined by fellow Welshman Rhys Davies.

Scotland are represented by Lloyd Saltman and Richie Ramsay, Ireland by British champion Brian McElhinney and England by Wolstenholme, Fisher, Gary Lockerbie, Matthew Richardson and Robert Dinwiddie.

Dinwiddie, who was not part of the six-man side which won the European team title on Saturday, claimed back-to-back wins in the Scottish and Welsh stroke play championships.

He recently graduated from Tennessee State University and, with six wins on the college circuit, was ranked the number one English golfer in the States.

Chairman of selectors Peter McEvoy remains confident his side can record a fourth win in a row in the competition.

"At the beginning of the season we lost a few players to the professional ranks (most notably James Heath) and I was concerned about the strength of the side," he said.

"However, many players have improved enormously and have had successful seasons as a consequence. This team, I believe, is a very, very strong one."
