McDowall will lead the team for a second time, having previously done so for their victory over Portugal in November.
Scrum-half George Horne and back-rower Josh Bayliss will serve as vice-captains.
Glasgow Warriors prop Fin Richardson will start while Alexander Masibaka and Fergus Burke are among the replacements, with all three wearing the Scotland jersey for the first time.
Wing Harry Paterson returns for the first time since the win over Uruguay last July following injury, while Northampton’s Rory Hutchinson starts at centre having been added to the squad following an injury to Matt Currie.
Scotland face the Maori All Blacks at the Semenoff Stadium in Whangarei in the first of three games on their summer Tour.
They then travel to Suva to face Fiji on July 12 before playing against Samoa in Auckland on July 18.
