BRITISH number one Andy Murray will miss next month’s Davis Cup match against Slovakia because of injury concerns following the Australian Open.

James Ward, Dan Evans, Colin Fleming and Ross Hutchins make up the team.

"I’m gutted to miss out on the Davis Cup having really enjoyed playing last year,” said Murray.

"But, as it’s only the start of an important season, which includes the Olympics in London, it’s probably a sensible decision.”

Murray reached the semi-finals in Melbourne before losing a five-set thriller to eventual champion Novak Djokovic.
