Mankad has been named as the fifth member of the team, to be led by Leander Paes.

"The selection committee of the All India Tennis Association has decided to include Harsh Mankad as the fifth member of the Davis Cup team. He has made a good comeback to professional tennis after having been down with an injury," an AITA press release said.
