Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley is adamant that there was no government interference in the Cricket West Indies elections which saw Ricky Skerrit emerging as the new president of Cricket West Indies.
His comments come after several Caricom heads were vocal in their calls for a change at the top of the board.
However Dr Rowley says he was extremely happy with the outcome of the elections while adding that he had nothing personal against former president Dave Cameron but found him extremely disrespectful to Caricom
Rowley is of the view that the ICC will one day create two divisions of Cricket and West Indies will not be in the top echelon.
In the meantime new president Skerrit says he intends to make sure the legends have a key role to play in Caribbean cricket development.
He says the iconic former players are invaluable resources and need to be utilised properly in order to get the full benefit from their advanced knowledge and experience.
This follows controversial comments from former president Dave Cameron who claims some west indies legends had not excelled when asked to perform roles in the administration.
Skerritt says he has met with some of the former players since taking over the board.
