CAC silver doubles medallists Michael Hyatt and Nigel Webb are the two players to go with coach Donald Salmon, while the two other players selected, trials winner Peter Moo-Young and Christopher Marsh, will be left behind.
Results in the Latin American Championships in singles and doubles will be used to qualify players for the Pan-Am Games set for the Dominican Republic in August.
