James Anderson urged England cricket fans to stop ridiculing David Warner and Steve Smith and fear that cravings will inspire both during the evening.
Smith and Warner were abused by crowds at the World Cup after their one – year suspension for ball tampering in South Africa.
While the Ashes series debuts on Aug. 1 in Edgbaston, a hostile country, the Australian duo will almost certainly be the recipient of a warm reception at the time of its release.
However, Anderson said the violence could come back to hurt England and that critics of Stuart Broad, Australian police, are only putting it under fire.
"After playing against them so many times before and knowing how they react to these kinds of things, whether it's about sledding on the pitch or being booed by the crowd, they're going to improve their performance, "said Anderson at Talksport Radio.
"Seeing Stuart Broad go to Australia made him more determined to do well when he was hoisted.
"I understand that people will not like what they did but it is past.
"I'd rather not talk about it, even though I feel like we're going to talk about it."
Anderson, who is England's biggest wicket taker, believes the international player-to-player relationship has never been better, as Virat Kohli's reaction to Indian fans who have Smith hooted at The Oval last week.
During the IPL Warner and the English drummer, Jonny Bairstow, who clashed on the field during the 2017 Ashes series, also forged a close friendship after their success at the opening together for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
"With the amount of T20 cricket played around the world and with the Big Bash and the IPL, players are getting to know each other a lot more apart from cricket," he said.
"You have a different type of relationship than when you go on the field and play against them.
"It was more like that in the past, when cricket was more of a social game.
"In the '70s, we had a rest and went to someone's home for a barbecue and we knew people that way.
"For a good part of my career, cricket has been so played that it's about hotel, grounds, flight or hotel, so you never meet "It's nice to see that change a bit."
