Former England batsman and popular broadcaster Geoffrey Boycott is recovering after a quadruple heart bypass surgery, his family announced yesterday. Boycott, 77, had the procedure in Leeds on June 27 and spent 10 days in critical care, Emma Boycott said in a statement on her father's Twitter account.

"The surgeon says the operation was a success and has now allowed him home to recover from the invasive surgery. He will not be commentating at the start of the England v India Test match series but hopes to be back at work for the 3rd Test," the statement read.
