Captain Anne Keothavong told the LTA website: “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 and each year we are getting stronger and better as a team.”
The qualifying round takes place in Le Portel, France, on April 12-13, on indoor clay.
Great Britain missed out on the finals last year after losing to France in Coventry.
