Andy Murray's mother Judy has been appointed as captain of Britain's Fed Cup team, the Lawn Tennis Association has confirmed.
Murray, who has helped coach her world number four son Andy, will take charge of the team in the Euro/Africa Zone Group I from February 1-4 next in Eilat, Israel.
She will also work closely with the LTA player team in mentoring and supporting some of Britain's most promising female performance coaches.
"It is a huge honour for me to represent my country in this way, and the role presents a very exciting challenge, given the mix of talent, experience and determination we have in our top female players right now," she said.
The post has been vacant since the summer, when Nigel Sears resigned to coach former world number one Ana Ivanovic.
