That's going to be a lengthy rest, at minimum 2 years with marginally over 0% chance it'll happen. Since Burundi don't even participate in Davis Cup, they'd need at least one year to register and yet another one to crawl from Group III Africa to Group II Europe/Africa. Then hope the draw goes that way. :P

On the other hand if he ends up resting until the matchup against Benin it'll be much faster.

Matter of chance. While Portugal got relegated from Group I, Benin got promoted from Group III. Both parties shortened the gap :P
