Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu has been named in Great Britain's squad to face France in the qualifying round of the 2024 Billie Jean King Cup.

Raducanu, 21, joins British number one Katie Boulter, Harriet Dart and Heather Watson in what captain Anne Keothavong says is a "full-strength team".

France will host the tie from 12-13 April after they beat Keothavong's team in Coventry last year.

Keothavong insisted GB were "getting stronger and better".

She told the LTA website, external: "I'm delighted to be travelling with a full-strength team off the back of some terrific results recently.

"The French side will present a significant challenge as always, but we all know how representing GB inspires us."

GB booked their place in this year's qualifiers with a 3-1 play-off win over Sweden in November.

The winner of the best-of-five tie will progress to the Billie Jean King Cup Finals later this year, while the losing nation will compete in the play-offs.

Great Britain and France have faced each other four times in the tournament's history, with both sides securing two victories each.

Raducanu is continuing her comeback after an injury-hit 2023 season - her latest match ended in a straight-set defeat in the third round at Indian Wells on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Boulter, 27, won her first WTA 500 title earlier this month after coming from a set down to beat Marta Kostyuk in the San Diego Open final.
