Sri Lanka will not be the best place to Test our new openers. We will be seeing if people can or cannot play spin rather than how good an opener they are.

There is only one home test before the Ashes (Ireland in a four-dayer) so unless we're going to pick a pair of rookies next August, there is no other option.
My preferred tactic would be to pick 3 openers in the top order against SL & WI. The duo that does best then get to start versus Australia at Edgbaston. If all three do well, even better - as that is another problem position filled.
