Raducanu made a significant impact in the qualifiers last April, winning two matches as Britain secured an unexpected victory over France on clay. She will partner with the 36th-ranked Boulter, forming a formidable duo for the team.

Two years ago, Britain reached the semi-finals but required a wild card into the Finals as hosts in Glasgow. This will be their first time qualifying on merit under the current format.

Captain Anne Keothavong expressed her excitement: \\\"We are really looking forward to the Finals in Malaga after our successful qualifying campaign in France this April. Our team has built fantastic memories over the past few years and will embrace the opportunity in November. We have the flexibility to make changes up until the day before our first match.\\\"

Keothavong is hopeful that all players will remain fit and available in the coming months. There is also room for tactical adjustments, with Sonay Kartal, who recently won her first WTA Tour title and broke into the top 100, potentially earning a spot in the team.

Raducanu is competing in Korea this week, marking her return to the court after a first-round exit at the US Open.
