The world number 11's withdrawal with a knee complaint has stacked the odds even further against John Lloyd's recently-promoted team.

"I think it's disappointing that he chose not to come," Jamie told the Daily Mail. "From what I have been reading he hasn't come out and said he's injured, it's more a prevention thing. I think if he had really wanted to push himself he could have come here."

Andy Murray is preparing to compete in an ATP event in Marseille instead of linking up with GB, and it is not a decision which his brother can sympathise with.

"He obviously felt it was more important for him to concentrate on going to Marseille and doing well rather than coming here.

"It was a shock to me and for the team it's very disappointing. I wasn't aware he had a problem.

"I last spoke to him in Australia just before he left (the Australian Open).

"There's not much to say. I'm here working hard for the team and trying to do my best and he is at home doing whatever he is doing."
