Australian cricket icon, Ellyse Perry, has expressed her confidence in the England women’s cricket team and their potential performance in the upcoming ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in India. Despite England’s disappointing Ashes series in Australia where they lost all seven games, Perry believes that the team under new leadership is set to make a strong comeback.

Recently, England’s head coach Jon Lewis and captain Heather Knight stepped down from their roles following the Ashes defeat. Charlotte Edwards, an esteemed figure in women’s cricket, has taken over as the head coach. Edwards brings an impressive track record, having led England to victories in both the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup and the T20 World Cup in 2009. She was also inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame in 2022, further cementing her status in the sport.

Perry, who remains a crucial player for Australia, noted that the changes in England’s coaching could provide a fresh start for the team. With new strategies and a reinvigorated team spirit, England is expected to be a formidable contender when they compete in India against some of the world’s best.

Both Australia and England have qualified for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in India. The tournament is a crucial opportunity for England, who were knocked out in the group stages of the previous World Cup. For Australia, defending their title will be a priority, and Perry is set to play a pivotal role in this effort.

Apart from the World Cup, the Women’s T20 World Cup in England next summer is another major event on Perry’s agenda. Her focus, while firmly on the forthcoming challenges, includes contributing to Australia’s success in both tournaments.

As both teams prepare for the high-stakes competition, fans and analysts will closely watch how England adapts to their new leadership under Charlotte Edwards and whether they can translate fresh starts into tangible success on cricket’s biggest stage.
