Maybe in ODI but not in Test.

agreed, just because they both can bowl, shouldn't mean there can only be one place in the team between them. They both could get in the team solely based on their batting. Riyad has the second highest Test batting average in the team so it's inconceivable that he would be dropped. If anything it would mean he would have to move up the order, but this should be happening anyway, he shouldn't be batting at number 7/8 when he has been one of integral members of the Test batting line-up.
