Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott is recovering at home after quadruple heart bypass surgery.

The 77-year-old, now a commentator for the BBC’’s test match special, spent 10 days in hospital in Leeds after having the operation on 27 June.

The ex-Yorkshire player, who scored 8,114 runs in 108 tests, hopes to be back in the commentary box next month.

Boycott, who captained England in four tests and led Yorkshire for seven years, will not commentate on England’s first two tests against India but could return for the third match of the series, starting on 18 august at Trent bridge.
