| He revealed he had offered to help them through the summer, but Peter Moores was named as his successor immediately.
"If you look around we are the youngest side in the world in Test cricket - not only in caps and ages, but also in inexperience," Fletcher said.
"We've shown the way we can play on occasions, we just haven't put it together on a consistent basis."
Fletcher announced his decision to quit before England's final World Cup game on Saturday, which was a thrilling one-wicket victory over West Indies.
He added: "I have said previously that this World Cup was a bit early for them and it could take up to a year, but who knows?
"They could suddenly put it together in six months, but I would still be a little bit patient with them because they've got a bit of learning to do.
The foundations are there, but I think it might take a little bit longer."
Fletcher decided to resign during the group stages, and had informed John Carr, the England and Wales Cricket Board's director of cricket operations, before their win against Bangladesh on 11 April.
He offered to stay on to stay for the summer, but the ECB preferred to make a clean break and appoint former academy director Moores.
