(Reuters) - Britain's Jamie Murray will join forces with Neal Skupski in the men's doubles competition for the Tokyo Olympics after the country's number one Dan Evans had to withdraw following a positive COVID-19 test, Team GB said on Thursday.

Murray, 35, will represent Britain for the fourth time at the Olympics and joins his younger brother and twice Olympic champion Andy Murray, 34, who is set to feture in the singles.
