Sydney: Former Australian vice-captain David Warner on Tuesday backed Australia to do well against England in the upcoming limited-overs series in September.
England and Australia are slated to face each other in three Tests and three T20Is.
Earlier, the series was slated to be played in July, but it got postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"We will obviously be quite fresh and keen to get at it when we get over there. If you look at the England team, they've been in lockdown and quarantine for the last (three) weeks and then preparing for their next series (ODI campaigns against Ireland and Pakistan)," cricket.com.au quoted Warner as saying.
"So we're going over there fresh with an open mind and ready and keen to play cricket, and not in that bio(security) bubble yet," he added.
Earlier, Warner has opined that his family will be his first priority while making comeback in the international cricket amid COVID-19 restrictions.
"Obviously three daughters and my wife, who I owe a lot to, has been a big part of my playing career," Warner told media."You've always got to look out for your family first, and with cricket and these unprecedented times, you've got to weigh up these decisions."
"Look, at the moment, I'll keep continuing to aim for that. Obviously, the T20 (World Cup) is not here at home, which would have been ideal to play that and win that here. Now that gets pushed back. I will have to have a rethink about that when it comes to India."
The side faced off against New Zealand in the first ODI of the three-match series.
Australia managed to win the first ODI, and then the remaining two matches were called off due to the coronavirus pandemic.
England is currently playing the third Test against West Indies and after this match, the side will play three ODIs against Ireland.
After the ODI series against Ireland, England is slated to face Pakistan in three Tests and as many T20Is.
