Interim coach Mohsin Khan says he will have no problem if he does not get full-time role.
Mohsin has led Pakistan to series wins over Sri Lanka and Bangladesh since replacing Waqar Younis in October 2011 and is now preparing the team to face top-ranked test side England.
The 56-year-old has applied for the permanent position, but local media reports suggest Australian coach Dav Whatmore is the favorite to take over.
Mohsin told a news conference Wednesday he will have "no ego problems, whatever decision the PCB makes."
A three-member committee appointed by the PCB finalized its recommendations on Wednesday, but the new coach is not expected to be named until after the series against England, beginning Jan. 17.
