Justin Langer sorry for intense working style

Ex-Oz coach Justin Langer

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.

"My life has been built on values of honesty, respect, trust, truth, and performance and if that comes across as too intense at times, I apologise," wrote Langer in his resignation letter, according to abc.net.au.

"It is said that in any venture, if you leave things in a better place than when you started then you have done your job. Whilst it is not up to me to judge, I hope Australians respect what has been achieved over the last four years in Australian cricket."
