Former England captain Geoffrey Boycott has been part of the BBC’s Test commentary team for the past 14 years. He has decided to break the 14-year-old relationship with the BCC amid the crisis of the Kovid-19 epidemic. Boycott made this decision ahead of the home series against West Indies starting next month, which will restore the international cricket.
Boycott wrote on Twitter, ‘I would like to thank the BBC for a wonderful 14 years. I enjoyed it and I am passionate about cricket. I would like to thank all those who said that they enjoyed my commentary so much and also those who did not like it. ‘ He wrote, ‘My contract with the BBC came to an end at the end of last summer. I would love to release it but need to be practical and honest with myself at this time. I have taken this decision because of Kovid-19.
1/2 I would like to thank @bbctms @BBCSport for a wonderful 14 years. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and just love cricket with a passion. I also wish to thank all those that have said how much they have enjoyed my commentary and for those that haven’t- too bad.

2/5 my contract with BBC finished end of last summer. I would loved to continue but need to be realistic & honest with myself. Covid -19 has made the decision for both of us.

He said that his heart bypass surgery and his age are very important in this decision. Geoffrey Boycott is 79 years old. All the cricket events in the world have been postponed or canceled since March due to the Kovid-19 epidemic. The West Indies cricket team will play a three-match Test series against England next month.
