Under-fire Australia cricketer-turned-commentator Kerry O'Keeffe yesterday penned an open letter to Indian fans and players, apologising for his controversial comments made during the just-concluded Boxing Day Test here.

Responding to the flak he received for his jokes on Indian players made on air during the course of the third Test between India and Australia, O'Keeffe said his jokes were interpreted wrongly and he never had the intention to "disrespect" Indian cricket.
