Veteran seamer James Anderson has warned England not to "look too deep" into their Ashes defeat, with team director Ashley Giles tasked with conducting a review into series.
Australia took an unassailable 3-0 lead inside 12 days, with an innings victory in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne ensuring they retained the urn.
In response to England's disappointing defeat, captain Joe Root, head coach Chris Silverwood and ECB chiefs have all come under fire, while the state of first-class cricket in England has become a hotly debated topic.
However, Anderson has insisted that England need to be "realistic" in their review of the series.
Speaking to Fox Cricket, Anderson said: "I think the biggest thing I’ve learnt, especially from Ashes defeats over the years, is maybe you don’t need to look too deep into it and start changing the wheel.
"We’ve got a lot of improving to do as a side, but I think we’ve got to be realistic as well.
"We’ve got some talent in this team, we’ve got a lot of young players in the team who are still learning their trade, so we’ve got to try our best to keep improving everyday.
"Winning is a habit, that’s the reason when teams come here and get behind the eight-ball, when teams go 1-0, 2-0 down, it’s very difficult to turn that round because you see Australia, when they get a foot on the throat, they never take it off, or it’s difficult to wrestle that momentum back and that’s our challenge this next couple of weeks.
"We’ve got to be looking to the future, it’s a new year, a new start as a team, we’ve got to really try and focus on what’s coming up ahead of us rather than worrying about too much of what’s gone on in the past.
"I think sometimes even if you bowl well you don’t want to look back and rest on your laurels, you want to be improving all the time. I’m much more looking forward rather than looking back."
