The Yorkshire batting great was honoured along with Ian Botham who made Leeds 1981 an epic Test match.

The late Fred Trueman and Wilfred Rhodes were honoured too. "I would like to thank the ICC for awarding me this great honour and for also choosing Headingley as the venue.

"This ground holds so many wonderful memories for me and the Yorkshire public have always been my greatest supporters, so having this award on home soil in front of them makes it more special," said Boycott, now a commentator. Trueman's widow Veronica received the cap on behalf of her late husband.
