About
Geoffrey Boycott was born in Fitzwilliam, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. He is a former Yorkshire and England cricketer. In a prolific and sometimes controversial playing career from 1962 to 1986, Boycott established himself as one of England's most successful opening batsmen and since retiring as a player, he has found further success as a cricket commentator. He made his international debut in a 1964 Test match against Australia. After 108 Test match appearances for England, Boycott ended his international career in 1982 as the leading Test run scorer with over 8,000 Test match runs, earning an OBE for services to cricket. He was inducted into the International Cricket Council's Hall of Fame in 2009. He has written several books include: Geoff Boycott on Batting, Boycott: The Autobiography, Boycott on Cricket, Learn Cricket with Geoff Boycott, The Best 11, The Best XI, and Play Cricket the Right Way.
