Biography

Haakonsen was introduced to cricket by his family. He excelled in the sport at Selborne Primary and Kingswood College in South Africa. Representing national teams from the Under-12 level onwards, he gained considerable experience through international tours.

However, Haakonsen took a brief hiatus from cricket due to selection issues. During a yearly visit to his family in Gweru, Zimbabwe, his performances for the local church team drew attention, leading to an invitation to the CFX Academy in 2000.

While awaiting his entry into the Academy, Haakonsen improved his fitness and underwent bowling action modification under coach Carl Rackemann.
