I play badminton.
I warm up with 25 pull ups , 25 push ups and 25 crunches and with 4 sprints of 100m
Are there any new additional exercises by which i can improve my stamina?

Yes, you will want to incorporate some other things as badminton is not running in a straight line, there are a lot of sideways and backwards movements as well (I play badminton often), plus the constant stop and going.

You can practice running backwards, and running sideways (keeping a wide stance, switch sides), and practice hip exercises like hip escapes (I do not know the technical name for these, they are done in jiu jitsu). Also, look up plyometrics and start doing those. If you have access to a gym, you can also do some squats.

Work on your core. Crunches alone aint gonna cut it.
