Cook is confident England's recent lacklustre displays in the drawn Test series against New Zealand were just a blip that will soon be forgotten as they head into a frenetic programme over the next few months.We've got the tournament here in our home conditions which we hope to make the most of and then in two years' time there is the World Cup. We haven't won that either.We're the first England team to play back-to-back Ashes series so close together so the potential and the opportunity to do something very special is there," Cook said.England play New Zealand in a Test series rematch then host the limited overs Champions Trophy and the Ashes Test series before heading to Australia for a second Ashes campaign.Regardless of his team's result against New Zealand, Cook refuses to accept England will start as firm favourites when Australia arrive for the Ashes after being hammered 4-0 in India recently.Cook's men will be back in Australia and New Zealand for the 2015 World Cup and the opening batsman is convinced a good run over the next year can be the catalyst for England to win the tournament for the first time.
