STRIKE bowler Ellyse Perry is on track to play a crucial role in the Australian women's team's defence of the Ashes.

The Southern Stars were playing England A in Hertfordshire overnight Monday.

With Australia batting first, Perry was set to be unleashed on Tuesday night in preparation for the Ashes Test, which starts at Wormsley Cricket Ground on Sunday.

Perry battled an ankle injury during Australia's successful one-day World Cup campaign in February and had surgery on her return from India. The 22-year-old required further surgery in April.

"She's bowling off her long run," Australian coach Cathryn Fitzpatrick said.

"She bowled six overs in a row (on Sunday), not a problem.''

"She's due to bowl 10 on Tuesday and I can't see her having any issues getting through that."

Swing bowler Julie Hunter is under an injury cloud and missed the tour match.

Western Australian swing bowler Gemma Triscari was added to the squad last week.

"(The bowlers) will be monitored with their loads, " Fitzpatrick said.

Australia holds the Ashes and will play England in one Test, three one-day games and three Twenty20 matches.
