Paul Downton, managing director of the England and Wales Cricket Board, insists he retains full faith in captain Eoin Morgan and coach Peter Moores despite England's poor showing at the Cricket World Cup.
A 15-run defeat to Bangladesh in Monday's Pool A contest signalled the end of England's hopes of making the knockout stages.
England had already come under pressure following heavy defeats to Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka - their solitary success so far coming against Scotland.
There have already been calls for an overhaul at the top level with coach Moores and captain Morgan - who only replaced Alastair Cook as one-day skipper last December - under intense pressure.
But Downton has no intention of wielding the axe.
"The reality is that Eoin was appointed literally two months ago," he told Sky Sports News. "As an individual, I think he's done a really good job at leading that group.
"He'll be desperately disappointed that he hasn't scored more runs because every captain wants to lead from the front.
"He started with a hundred against Australia in the Tri-Series and we hoped that this would really free him up but he's going through a spell at the moment where he's not getting runs."
On Moores, he added: "From the coach's point of view, I was one of the panel that appointed Peter 10 months ago. One of the reasons for that was he's a hugely experienced coach. Whoever took this job was going to have a really difficult job.
"We had a side that broke up in Australia, we had to introduce new players and part of dealing with it - which was obviously going to be pressurised - was that experience.
"We're very early into an appointment. As much as we'd like to change things instantly, it takes time. Look at New Zealand and where they were with their one-day cricket two years ago - it takes time to bring things through.
"We had a very successful team between 2009 and 2013, we have to rebuild again. There are no shortcuts."
