England player Stuart Broad has said that he has accepted an apology from Australian coach Darren Lehmann following the coach's inciting attack on the bowler during the Ashes series.

According to Sport24, Broad expressed to his Twitter followers that Lehmann had made the comments in jest and he accepted the apology.

The comments earned Lehmann a fine of 20 percent of his match fee from the fifth and final Ashes Test at The Oval, which ended in a draw on Sunday, the report said.

Lehmann said that he had a chat with Broad and they were just going to move on.
