Jamie Murray has been named in Team GB's tennis squad for the Tokyo Games following the withdrawal of Dan Evans.

Seven-time Grand Slam doubles winner Murray, 35, will replace Evans as Neal Skupski's partner in the men's doubles competition.

"I am delighted that Jamie will be joining us on the plane to Tokyo," said Team GB tennis team leader Iain Bates.

"It is great to have an athlete of Jamie's experience and calibre as part of the team and I look forward to the Games starting in just over a week's time."

Tokyo will be Murray's fourth Olympic Games having previously competed in Beijing, London and Rio.
