Kumar Sangakkara feels England are the 'best all-round side' in world cricket, but their new opening combination can be exploited by the Sri Lankans in their upcoming Test series.

England's tour of Sri Lanka, which commences on 10 October, will feature five one-day internationals, a solitary Twenty20 international and three Test matches, in that order.

This will be England's first series since they hosted India – a series that ended with Alastair Cook's retirement from international cricket. Sangakkara believes that while England have a formidable playing XI in the longest format of the game, the new opening combination can be targeted by the hosts.
