BBC Commentator for test matches will end up with his career after test match special

Sir Geoffrey Boycott's 14-year spell on the BBC's Test Match Special is finished, with the reporter saying the coronavirus pandemic had basically settled on the choice for him following his fourfold heart bypass.

The 79-year-old previous England batsman said he had "to be sensible".

The ex-Yorkshire player, who scored 8,114 runs in 108 Tests, had the activity in 2018.

"I would have wanted to proceed yet I should be reasonable," he said.

"My agreement with the BBC completed at the end of the previous summer. I might want to say thanks to BBC TMS and BBC Sport for a superb 14 years.

I have altogether delighted in it and simply love cricket with energy.

"Covid-19 has settled on the choice for the two of us."

Barbara Slater, executive of BBC Sport, stated: "Geoffrey has been a notorious voice in our Test Match Special box for a long time. 

"While we wish the conditions were extraordinary, we might want to accept this open door to genuinely express gratitude toward him for his commitment to our cricket editorial throughout
the years we're despite everything planning to hear his one of a kind cricketing knowledge sooner
or later on TMS this mid-year."

"He would occasionally appear on the show". Boycott added.

"Ideally I may, in any case, have some contribution to BBC TMS if that tall, thin ex-Leicestershire medium pace bowler [BBC cricket reporter Jonathan Agnew] needs a legit examination or needs to remove the Mickey from me, perhaps he will call me while on air," said Boycott.
