John Lloyd's side are bidding to reclaim their place in the World Group but face an uphill struggle at home to the 2005 winners.

Lloyd's team were not among the eight seeded nations for the draw which took place on Wednesday morning at the International Tennis Federation offices in London.

The winners of each of the eight ties will progress to the top tier of the competition, while the losers will begin 2008 in Group I.

Lloyd's side earned their place in the draw with their 4-1 victory over Holland, during which former British number one Greg Rusedski announced his retirement from the game.

Second seeds Australia have been drawn against Serbia, Austria play Brazil and Belarus face Peru.

Meanwhile Chile must play Israel and the draw is completed by the Czech Republic against Switzerland, Romania versus Japan and third seeds Slovakia face Korea.

Fixtures take place on the weekend of September 21-23.
