The British number two hasn't played Davis Cup tennis since 2008 and was not awarded a wildcard for this year's Wimbledon but he remains the highest placed English player on the world rankings.

Katie O'Brien - the British number two and world number 84 - will lead a team that includes Anna Smith and doubles specialist Sarah Borwell.

In Bogdanovic's absence, British number four James Ward will lead the men's team, alongside Richard Bloomfield, Ross Hutchins and Ken Skupski.

But Skupski, the British doubles number one, won't be alongside normal partner Colin Fleming, who will compete for Scotland in Delhi.

"This will be the first time that tennis features at the Games, so it's a little piece of history for the players, and a really exciting time for all involved," said England tennis captain Paul Hutchins.  

"We're looking forward to heading out to Delhi and experiencing this competition first hand".
