Jack Draper will lead Great Britain’s squad as they aim to reach the finals of the Davis Cup, while Wimbledon doubles champion Henry Patten is in the team.

Captain Leon Smith announced his team on Friday, which also includes Billy Harris, Dan Evans and experienced doubles player Neal Skupski.

Draper is currently competing at the US Open and has reached his first Grand Slam semi-final, taking on Jannik Sinner on Friday evening.

Harris replaces former British number one Cameron Norrie, who had to withdraw from the US Open through injury.

Great Britain face Canada, Finland and Argentina in Group D in Manchester, with the action taking place from 10-15 September.

The Davis Cup finals, which feature eight countries, will be held in Spanish city Malaga in November.
