Salman Ali Agha replaced Rizwan as captain of the T20 outfit with all-rounder Shadab Khan being recalled and named his vice-captain.
Rizwan has been retained as captain of the ODI squad after the team's disappointing show in the Champions Trophy. Babar is also retained in the ODI squad but batters Saud Shakil and Kamran Ghulam have been axed. Pakistan play five T20s and three ODIs in New Zealand starting March 16.
