England’s cricketers were confident of winning their fourth straight Ashes series after touching down in Australia in the early hours of Friday.
The players looked relaxed as they walked to their team bus following their 12.26am WST arrival at Perth airport.
Star all-rounder Kevin Pietersen was a notable absentee, granted compassionate leave following the death of a friend.
The 33-year-old is expected to link up with the rest of England’s 17-man squad on Sunday.
The team will have Friday and Saturday off before holding their first training session on Sunday morning at the WACA Ground.
