Olympic curling bronze medallist Eve Muirhead will be joined by brothers Glen and Thomas at the 2018 Winter Games in South Korea.

Eve Muirhead, will skip the women for the third consecutive Games, while Kyle Smith will lead a men’s rink that includes the Muirhead brothers.

Olympic silver medallist David Murdoch criticised his exclusion.

“I’m not sure the team has the experience to deal with [championship curling],” Murdoch said.

“It is a strange one but it is something we will have to live with. I was very surprised by the decision because I believe we showed enough consistency to deserve our place.

“Championship curling is very different to tour events. I believe we had persevered and proved that we can thrive in that kind of environment.”

Glen Muirhead was a member of Tom Brewster’s rink, which also missed out on qualification, but he has joined Team Smith – who will be making their Olympic debut – for the Games in Pyeongchang in February. Kyle Waddell and Cammy Smith make up the rest of the team.
