Davis Cup final 2015: Andy Murray warns Belgium not to underestimate debutant Kyle Edmund
British No1 Andy Murray has warned Belgium that they will be making a grave mistake if they underestimate his unheralded team-mates in the final of the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas.
Murray has almost single-handedly dragged the team to a first final since 1978, which starts on Friday, and within touching distance of ending a 79-year wait to be crowned world champions.

Rookie Kyle Edmund, 20, has been selected for Great Britain's other two singles rubbers, despite being a Davis Cup debutant and only having played five times on the elite ATP Tour.
But Murray, who meets world No108 Ruben Bemelmans in his first clash, insists Belgium would be wrong to surmise that he is the only threat to a home victory in Ghent.
"I think if you look at it that way, they're actually putting a lot of pressure on their own players in the other matches," the Scot said.
"I'm happy to take as much pressure on my shoulders as is needed. I've been in that position I think a lot of times in my career. I think I will be able to deal with it okay.
"But I also believe in all of the players in our team. Everyone, when they've been asked to, stepped up and performed extremely well in the Davis Cup.
"Kyle has a lot of weapons on the court, a lot of firepower. It's not going to be an easy match for David [Goffin, Belgium's No1].
"I've practised with Kyle the last few days. He's playing extremely well. I think looking at it as Belgium versus me is actually counterproductive to them, if that's the case."
Winning the Davis Cup, which concludes on Sunday, would constitute a remarkable turnaround for Great Britain, who appeared to be at rock bottom five years ago.
Since then they have climbed from the competition's third tier to the top division and have this year beaten fellow grand slam nations the United States, France and Australia.
"I'm pumped," added Murray, who is set to join brother Jamie in Saturday's doubles rubber, as he has to great effect in the previous two rounds.
"There's nerves there obviously. That's really a positive thing. When I'm not nervous is normally when I worry a little bit. It's a big opportunity for all of us, but I believe that we prepared as best we can."
Belgium have nominated their second highest-ranked player, world No84 Steve Darcis, for doubles action only, although teams can still amend their Saturday and Sunday selections.
Great Britain Leon Smith indicated that world No100 Edmund's superior ranking had earned him the nod over fellow singles specialist James Ward.
Londoner Ward, who claimed a notable scalp in John Isner during the first-round win over the United States in March, has been named in the four-man team as injury cover.
More than 1,000 British fans are expected to attend the 13,000-seater Flanders Expo on each of the contest's three days despite a terror alert 35 miles away in Brussels last week.
