Pakistan head coach Misbah-ul-Haq has insisted that the critics need to be patient with comeback men Umar Akmal and Ahmed Shehzad.
Ten of Sri Lanka's best players pulled out of the three-match ODI series and three T20Is in Pakistan due to security concerns.
Misbah-ul-Haq was handed the dual role of coach and chief selector by the PCB on Thursday in a complete revamp of their cricketing structure.
The Board has also asked Misbah to work as coach during the coming edition of the Pakistan Super League and he will be paid the same salary what outgoing coach Mickey Arthur drew.
According to a Pakistan Cricket Board media release, Misbah-ul-Haq was the unanimous choice of the five-member PCB panel that conducted the recruitment process.
Significantly, PCB chairman Ehsan Mani had made it clear that having dual roles -- with the national team and a PSL franchise -- will no longer be accepted as per the board's new constitution.
Misbah-ul-Haq confirmed on Monday he was applying for the head coach job the deadline for which ended on the same day.
Zakir Khan, PCB Director of international cricket, in his last media talk, had told the journalists that the board is considering three models for the selection panel of the senior team.
Misbah is emerging as one of the top contenders to secure the recently vacated spot of Mickey Arthur.
India have won both their matches against South Africa and Australia so far in the World Cup, while England have two wins from three games.
Misbah was recently appointed to the Pakistan Cricket Board's cricket committee and sources close to him said he now wanted to focus on administrative roles or a career in the media.
