Kartal is set to make her BJK Cup debut following Raducanu’s withdrawal, a year after a health issue meant she had to watch GB’s qualifier against France from afar.
After three months out, the 23-year-old staged an impressive comeback, breaking into the top 100 and winning a WTA title on her way to a current career-high ranking of 60.
“It’ll be a really proud moment for me – having the opportunity to play for your country is the greatest honour,” Kartal said.
“There are a few goals in my career that stand out more than others and this is one of them.”
Britain reached the semi-finals of the BJK Cup last year, losing to eventual runners-up Slovakia.
Defending champions Italy have already secured a spot in November’s finals, as have hosts China.
