England paceman Stuart Broad has faced a barrage of criticism on Twitter after suggesting that people on the minimum wage stay “humble”.
Broad tweeted: “I’ve heard if you earn minimum wage in England you’re in the top 10% earners in the world. #stay #humble”.
The England star received backlash from many of his followers, including keen cricket follower Piers Morgan.

Broad attempted to backtrack on his tweet a few hours later. I merely wanted to emphasise my amazement at just how big the world is,” Broad tweeted. “No offence meant and sorry if any taken. The hashtag was aimed at myself.”
