The family hopes that Boycott would be able to return to commentate for the BBC Test Match Special with the third Test between India and England, which begins on August 18 at Trent Bridge.
Emma, whose Twitter handle is @BabyBoycs wrote, “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.”
