LAHORE -- Pakistan head coach Misbah-ul-Haq has said that his full focus is on the South Africa series and he wants to see improvement in the national team's performances.

Talking to the reporters on Sunday, Misbah said: 'I am not satisfied with the performances and I want to see an improvement in the national side. My full focus is on South Africa series and on our performances. We'll try to improve our shortcomings and remove the mistakes we have been making.

The former captain said: 'South Africa had a good amount of strength in the past. They had decent spinners and then batsmen who could play against a spin attack well but this is slightly a different South African side and we look forward to improve our record against them. We will try to exploit their weaknesses. This is the time for us to play good cricket against them.

So, we have a good opportunity against South Africa to do well and win the series,' the 46-year-old added.

Misbah dismissed the idea that results of Pakistan's series against New Zealand will have any impact on team's preparation for the upcoming series. 'We played in different conditions there.
