Former England batsman Sir Geoffrey Boycott has revealed he has been diagnosed with throat cancer for the second time.

Boycott confirmed his diagnosis in a statement to The Telegraph, revealing he will require an operation. 

‘In the last few weeks I have had an MRI Scan, CT Scan, a PET Scan and two biopsies and it has now been confirmed I have throat cancer and will require an operation,’ Boycott said.

‘From past experience I realise that to overcome cancer a second time I will need excellent medical treatment and quite a bit of luck and even if the operation is successful every cancer patient knows they have to live with the possibility of it returning.
