England cricket legend Geoffrey Boycott has undergone a quadruple heart bypass procedure, his daughter Emma has revealed.

In a statement posted to Twitter via her father's account on Tuesday, Emma Boycott said that the surgery had been successful.

Boycott, 77, was operated on by surgeons in Leeds on June 27 and spent 10 days in the Cardiac Critical Care Unit.

His daughter's statement read: "The surgeon says the operation was a success and has now allowed him home to recover from the invasive surgery.

"This will take some time so 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 match at Nottingham."

The Cricketer passes on our best wishes to Geoffrey in his recovery.
