Kyle Edmund is fit to vie with James Ward and Dan Evans for a singles role in Great Britain’s Davis Cup semi-final against Australia in Glasgow.

The world number 100 suffered a fall in practice on Tuesday but a scan revealed no significant damage to his ankle and he could join Andy Murray in the team.

“Fortunately, it’s not serious,” said Britain captain Leon Smith.

“He did take a bit of a tumble on the court. He was able to hit today, pretty much pain free.”

Doubles players Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot complete the British squad, with the draw to be made on Thursday and final line-ups confirmed before play on Friday.

Australia are led by captain Wally Masur, with Bernard Tomic and Thanasi Kokkinakis the highest-ranked singles players and Lleyton Hewitt and Sam Groth likely to play doubles.

The best-of-five tie opens with two singles matches on Friday, followed by the two doubles matches on Saturday and the reverse singles on Sunday.

The winners will play either Argentina or Belgium in the final.
