Britain, who were beaten in the last eight by Italy last
year, will take on Australia or Kazakhstan in the semi-finals if
they beat the 2014 runners-up.
"Queen's will be a perfect venue," Murray said on the Lawn
Tennis Association's website (www.lta.org.uk) on Tuesday.
"I've been playing at Queen's for 10 years now, so I feel very
at home there as do the rest of the British team. Fingers
crossed it's a memorable summer for British tennis."
Murray has a special fondness for the London venue, having won
the Wimbledon warm-up tournament there three times in his
career.
Queen's will be hosting a Davis Cup tie for the first time since
1990 when Britain were thrashed 5-0 by France.
Britain reached the last eight with a 3-2 victory over the
United States in Glasgow last month, Murray spearheading their
efforts by beating John Isner and Donald Young in his singles
matches.
The hosts have also received a boost by Slovenian-born Ajaz
Bedene taking up UK citizenship at the start of April, the world
number 94 immediately becoming Britain's number two ranked
player.
