James Ward, Kyle Edmund named in Great Britain Davis Cup squad

Great Britain captain Leon Smith has kept faith with James Ward for the Davis Cup semi-final with Australia.

Ward has played a crucial part in helping Great Britain reach the last four, but the Londoner has suffered 10 defeats in a row since reaching the Wimbledon third round in the summer.

However, while Ward faces competition for the second singles berth, he lines up alongside Andy Murray, Kyle Edmund, Jamie Murray and Dominic Inglot.

Australia have also named their squad, with Bernard Tomic, Thanasi Kokkinakis, Lleyton Hewitt and Sam Groth all being included, but there is no place for Nick Kyrgios.
