Australia’s legendary all-rounder elise perrya decisive presence at ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025has given fans a rare, personal glimpse into her life on tour by sharing her “can’t live without” essentials. Known for her remarkable composure on the field and her status as a true cricket icon, Perry’s latest revelations highlight the personal routines and small luxuries that keep one of the game’s greatest players energized and strong during the rigors of international cricket.
The things Ellyse Perry can’t live without on tour
Relaxing by candlelight: setting the mood
Perry starts off her tour essentials with an unexpectedly soothing touch — a travel candle, or sometimes two, always finds a place in her luggage. For the Australian star, soft lighting and mild scents are about more than aesthetics. “I always pack at least one candle, sometimes a pair, depending on how long the tour is. I like to have a few dim lights in my room at night.” He told on the YouTube channel of cricket.com.au. This practice doubles as a subtle strategy against the less glamorous side of the professional game – “This often makes my room smell a little better, especially if I have any dirty training kit hanging around.”
Coffee and peace: morning ritual
Jet-setting across continents for matches and tournaments, Perry prefers the morning as a moment of peace. “Another thing I always take with me is an air press for making filter coffee,” He shared. The ritual of making fresh coffee isn’t just about the caffeine; It is a daily langar amid the busy journey. “When we’re away for long periods, it’s nice to just have a little process – wake up, open the curtains, see some sunlight and make a coffee,” He said. It’s a small act that helps calm her down before the intensity of the day begins.
The power of music: setting the tone
Music is also a constant companion. Perry never travels without portable JBL speakers. “I really enjoy listening to music or having it playing in the background – it’s a different atmosphere for whatever time of day or whatever mood I’m in,” He accepted. Whether getting excited for a match or relaxing after a long session, music helps him manage the emotional ups and downs of sports and life on the road.
Pursuing New Tunes: The Harmonica Experiment
Always eager for new experiences, elise perry Recalled his recent experiments while traveling with a harmonica in hopes of teaching himself to play. “Until recently, I used to travel with the harmonica to teach myself and learn. I’m very bad at it – it’s become a distant thought,” She laughed. For now, the harmonica has been put aside to keep the peace of her hotel neighbors, but Perry jokes that she might revisit the challenge someday with a proper teacher.

Gifts from Home: Staying Connected
Perhaps the most poignant is the mention of the photographs Perry brought from home. “We all have a photo of loved ones – friends and family – on this tour. It’s always great to have somewhere in the line of sight next to your bed or in your room, just to see those familiar faces that mean so much to you,” He revealed. In the sometimes lonely world of international sport, these personal touches are vital, serving as daily reminders of who and what matters most.
With typical humility and a touch of self-deprecation, Perry concludes the video, “I found it very boring, but you might have enjoyed it.”
