 Murray will carry a heavy burden in the tie |
Andy Murray will lead Great Britain's Davis Cup team in their vital Euro Africa Zone Group One tie with Israel. Murray, Alex Bogdanovic, Alan Mackin and Jamie Delgado make up the squad for the tie at Eastbourne from 21-23 July.
In the absence of the injured Greg Rusedski and Tim Henman, who has retired from Davis Cup, Bogdanovic looks certain to play in the singles.
Britain must win to avoid a relegation play-off after defeat to Serbia and Montenegro in Glasgow in April.
Davis Cup captain Jeremy Bates said: "The team I have selected have shown they can win matches on this surface and I know they are all excited at the chance to play.
"With Greg's unavailability for this tie through injury it provides a fantastic opportunity for some of the guys to represent their country and play at this level."
Bogdanovic declined to play in the Davis Cup last April as he felt he was not "mentally ready."
His last appearance in the Davis Cup came in the 3-2 victory in Israel in 2005, but he lost his only match in straight sets.
