Amisya now aims to earn a promotion to the national team and help them qualify for the 2019 World Cup in the United Kingdowm through the Asian Championship in Singapore in September.

“My dream is to play for the senior team. I am currently with the junior side. I will work hard to get into the senior team,” Amisya, who will now focus on the Malaysia Games in Perak, also in September.

“It will be my first outing in the Malaysia Games. However, I still need to work hard to get into the team,” she added.
