England cricketer Stuart Broad has apologised for causing any offence by suggesting that those earning minimum wage should 'stay humble'.
The 28-year-old, who reportedly earns £700,000 per year, posted his controversial view on Twitter and received a barrage of criticism.
He wrote: "I've heard if you earn minimum wage in England you're in the top 10% earners in the World #stay #humble."
The England bowler later deleted the tweet and responded to the outrage by saying: "Clarifying my earlier tweet, I merely wanted to emphasise my amazement at just how big the world is.
"No offence meant and sorry if any taken. The hashtag was aimed at myself."
Broad is currently in Australia with his teammates ahead of next month's World Cup.
