Geoffrey Boycott Returns Home After Throat Cancer Surgery

Sir Geoffrey Boycott: Former England cricket captain Sir Geoffrey Boycott has been discharged from the hospital following an operation to remove a tumor from his throat.

The 83-year-old cricket legend, who was initially treated for throat cancer in 2002 with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, faced a recurrence of the disease last month.

A statement on his X account, issued by his family, shared that Boycott is now at home, continuing his recovery. "Lots of pain meds [medication] and a liquid-only diet for the foreseeable but he's on the mend and looking forward to watching The Open and England cricket at home," the post read.
