SQLCMD using older version of ODBC

Question

Hi,

I am trying to connect to my Azure sql database from an on-prem SQL server using sqlcmd.
Now I have both ODBC 13 and 17 installed on the source/on-prem server.
while I use sqlcmd, by default it uses ODBC 13 to connect to the azure sql database and it fails with below error.

C:\Users\XXXXXXX>SQLCMD -Q"SELECT GETDATE()" -d <db_name> -S <Azure_sql_DB_name> -G
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server : SQL Server Network Interfaces: The Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant could not be found. Install it from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=234947. If it is already present, repair the installation. [2]. .
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server : Client unable to establish connection.

But when I specifically use the sqlcmd from the newer version folder , then it uses the ODBC 17 version and it connects successfully.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server**Client SDK\ODBC\170\Tools\Binn**>SQLCMD -Q"SELECT GETDATE()" -d <db_name> -S <azure_SQL_DB_Name> -G

Problem is I have jobs configured in the on-prem SQL server to connect to this Azure database. So I want to know How can I configure my sqlcmd to use the newer version of ODBC i.e. ODBC version 17 by default?
Any leads are much appreciated.
