Manpreet Gony, the 35-year-old medium-pacer from Punjab, has officially announced his retirement from all forms of cricket except overseas short-format leagues. He also signed up for Toronto Nationals in the Global T20 Canada league, following in the footsteps of his statemate, Yuvraj Singh. Gony made his first-class debut in 2007 as a hit-the-deck quick and started out in the shorter formats in domestic cricket the following year, while also picking up a contract with Chennai Super Kings in the inaugural season of the IPL. He was Super Kings' joint leading wicket-taker that season along wish Albie Morkel and earned an India call-up soon after. The stint with the national team, however, didn't go too well as he played just two games in the 2008 Asia Cup, not getting a bat and picking up just two wickets.
