Kevin Pietersen has been left out of the England squad for the 2013 Twenty20 and one-day series in New Zealand.
The 32-year-old was included in the squad for next month's one-day series in India but has been rested for the February tour of New Zealand.
National selector Geoff Miller said: "There are a number of players who we have decided not to select for parts of the competitive programme this winter as we look to manage their workloads effectively while ensuring we remain competitive across all formats.
"We feel this is the best way of keeping players as physically and mentally fresh as possible during a demanding 2013 and beyond.
"Kevin Pietersen will miss the limited overs tour of New Zealand with Graeme Swann missing the T20 leg of the tour."
The England and Wales Cricket Board also announced a 15-man England Lions squad for the limited-overs tour of Australia in February. Joe Root will captain the side after making his Test debut earlier this month against India.
