India will host South Korea in a Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Group I first round tie, which will be held from February 1-3 next year.
India has been seeded fourth in the Group I while Australia got top billing in the eight-team group.
India had retained its place in Group I after routing New Zealand 5-0 in the play-off tie in Chandigarh last month.
The last time India played South Korea was in 2006 when it had lost 1-4 in the away tie. South Korea had suffered a crushing 0-5 defeat against Australia in Brisbane in their last tie.
India’s Davis Cup non-playing captain S.P. Misra was pleased to see his team getting second consecutive home tie.
“The home tie is always an advantage. Our boys always play well at home. It’s a good draw for us,” Misra told PTI.
