Sir Geoffrey Boycott is "unable to eat or drink" after developing pneumonia following cancer surgery, his daughter Emma has said.

The cricket legend, 83, had a procedure to "remove his throat cancer" on Wednesday.

Following the three-hour operation, the surgeon reported it "went well", Emma Boycott said.

But in a further update on X on Sunday afternoon, she said: "Unfortunately things have taken a turn for the worse and my father has developed pneumonia and is unable to eat or drink."

That means he is "back in hospital on oxygen and a feeding tube for the foreseeable".

She added: "Thank you all for the well wishes, we've been blown away by the sheer number of them."
