Andy Murray will not play Great Britain's tie against Lithuania in March.
Britain has been relegated to Group II for this season after losing a Group I playoff against Poland last September, which means weaker teams but more ties at irregular times.
"It's important we get back up the groups in the Davis Cup over the next few years," said Murray. "We have a talented young players who need Davis Cup experience to help with their career development."
My focus in 2010 is on performing well in the Masters events and improving my record in the Grand Slams."
