Lalchand Rajput does not feel there's a need for a second wicket-keeper in the team as back-up for captain MS Dhoni.

The fomer Indian coach said Dhoni is certain to play all the matches during India's campaign in the ICC World T20 in England starting June 5.

"Dhoni is a certainty and unless there's a serious injury to him I don't think there's a need for a back-up", said the former Test opener, who was the coach when India clinched the first edition of the tournament in South Africa in September, 2007.

"In case there's a need they can always summon some one from India. The work load for the wicket-keeper in 20 days is also not too much. That's the reason the selectors have added a fifth medium pacer to give the team more options in English conditions," he explained.

Former chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar also refused to take up the absence of second stumper in the Indian squad as an issue.

When asked Dhoni yesterday about the matter before the team's departure to London, he said the question, if at all, needed to be addressed to the selectors.
