From the US BACKGAMMON CLOCK RULES & PROCEDURES

3.2 DICE MIX. Either player may demand a mixing of dice prior to the start of any game. Four predetermined dice (including the two already in play) are mixed with each player choosing one die. The player demanding the dice mix chooses second.

While it may be a nice gesture, there is no requirement for any selection process of the dice. The only time that is required is if there is a request to mix the dice. If such a request is made, then the original FOUR dice chosen for the match must be rolled and two selected from the four for the game. That means that the player who ends the game with both dice may simply choose the one he wishes to roll for the next game and give the other die to his opponent.

3.3 OPENING ROLL. To begin the game, each player rolls one die.

There is also no requirement that each player be in possession of one die before the first roll takes place; only that each player must roll one die.

Conclusion: if nobody requests to mix the dice, the player having both dice may roll either die and then give the remaining die to his opponent.
