Under-fire Australia cricketer-turned-commentator Kerry O’Keeffe today penned an open letter to Indian fans and players, apologising for his controversial comments made during the just-concluded Boxing Day Test between India and Australia in Melbourne.

He was responding to the flak he received for his racist jokes on Indian players made on air during the course of the Boxing Day Test. O’Keeffe said, his jokes were interpreted wrongly and he never had the intention to disrespect Indian Cricket.
