Boycott’s daughter Emma posted an update of the situation on Twitter.
She wrote: ‘My father, Geoffrey Boycott, had quadruple bypass open heart surgery on Wednesday June 27.
‘He spent 10 days in hospital in Leeds, with most of that time in the Cardiac Critical Care unit.
‘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 vs India Test series but hopes to be back at work for the third Test at Nottingham.’
Boycott is one of England’s most successful batsmen and is highly respected in the game
The well wishes have come flooding in for the popular broadcaster since news of his ill health broke.
Former England captain and now BBC colleague Michael Vaughan wrote: ‘Digin Geoffrey, we’ll miss you lots.’
It seems the Yorkshireman is already making great strides in his recover and has been active on social media.
