Joshua Filler will team up with Thorsten Hohmann for their defence of the title against New Zealand's Matt Edwards and Simon Singleton.
Filler has already won the World Pool Championship and UK Open Pool Championship and the in-form German will now be out to add the World Cup of Pool to his trophy cabinet in 2022.
Jayson Shaw and Elliott Sanderson pair up for Great Britain A as they take on a Great Britain B side containing Imran Majid and Chris Melling.
World Snooker duo of Thepchaiya Un-Nooh and Noppon Saengkham will represent Thailand after Efren Reyes and Carlo Biado of the Philippines were forced to withdraw due to travel issues.
They will face off with South Africa's Jason Theron and Kyle Akaloo with the winner set to face one of the two British sides.
The USA's Shane Van Boening and Skyler Woodward will meet Canada's Alex Pagulayan and John Morra while two-time champions Austria - led by Albin Ouschan and Max Lechner - start out their bid for a third title against Finland's Mika Immonen and Jani Uski.
