Andy Murray will team up with brother Jamie when Great Britain take on Luxembourg in the Davis Cup this weekend.

The crucial tie, which begins on Friday, would see Britain promoted back to the second tier of the Davis Cup, Europe-Africa Zone I, with victory.

Murray, the world No. 4, will undoubted be expected to assure Britain two rubber match triumphs in the best-of-five encounter. A further victory in the doubles would then ensure Britain cannot be beaten.

Doubles specialist Jamie was originally going to be partnered by Colin Fleming, but Fleming was forced to pull out due to injury. Dan Evans steps into the four-man squad.

James Ward will kick off proceedings against Gilles Muller on Friday in the singles, before brother Andy takes on Laurent Bram. The Murray brothers will then team up in the doubles on Saturday, before the final two singles matches on Sunday.

Andy and Jamie have won four and lost four as a partnership, but they should be inspired by playing in front of their home crowd in Scotland.
