Myisha Mohd Khairul (born 27 July 2002) is a Malaysian badminton player.[1][2] She was among the players in the Malaysian team who helped bring home a bronze medal at the 2022 Badminton Asia Team Championships.[3]
Personal life
Myisha has two other siblings and spent most of her life in her hometown, Johor Bahru. Her parents initially wanted her to become a ballerina at a young age. She tried to pursue a career in taekwondo but she did not enjoy the sport because it was too rough. At the age of 9, she took up badminton after accompanying her brother to his first badminton class.[4][5]
Career
2022: First international title and leaving BAM
In April, Myisha captured her first international title at the Dutch International, becoming the first women's singles player from Malaysia to win the title.[6]
In December, she took to social media to announce her premature departure from the national team after she was dropped by the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) for her underwhelming performances. She had served the senior team for only two years.[7]
