With a dismal Ashes series in the rearview, Ellyse Perry believes England can start afresh under newly appointed head coach Charlotte Edwards.
England Women lost all seven games on their multi-format Ashes tour of Australia - a result that was followed by head coach Jon Lewis and captain Heather Knight both stepping down from their roles.
Australia all-rounder Ellyse Perry however, is confident that come the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in India later this year, England will turn the page with new head coach Charlotte Edwards taking over.
"If you look at the class of that English team and the players they have, their best eleven is a formidable side," Perry told Sky Sports.
"I've got absolutely no doubt that they'll be a very different team this summer in England, but also in the World Cup in India.
"They're a group of champions, and you're always allowed to have some tough periods and challenges where you're a bit off.
"But there's a lot of class in that team, and that will show pretty quickly. It was probably more of a blip than any kind of long-standing issue, so I'm excited to see how Edwards brings them back."
Former England captain Edwards had led the side to an ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup as well as T20 World Cup titles back in 2009.
The ICC Hall of Famer will be hoping to take England one step further at the Cricket World Cup in India later this year, having finished as runner-ups in the 2022 edition of the tournament.
Both Australia and England have already qualified for the marquee tournament - finishing first and third in the ICC Women’s Championship 2022/25 standings.
