Justin Langer has said that his respect for values might have been taken by some as being too intense during his tenure as Australia head coach after he opted to quit from the top job instead of agreeing to a short-term contract extension.

In his resignation letter to Cricket Australia (CA) officials, Langer offered his apology but stressed that he values honesty, respect, trust, truth and performance but some people might have taken it as being too intense in his working style.
