This clue could be a double definition.

'old bat' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'yorkshire?' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for boycott that I've seen before include "send to Coventry" , "Refuse to do business with" , "Refuse to handle or deal with" , "Trade embargo" , "Refuse to deal with - Yorkshire and England batsman" .)
