Haakonsen was introduced to cricket by his family.[3] He excelled in the sport at Selborne Primary and Kingswood College in South Africa.[3] Representing national teams from the Under-12 level onwards, he gained considerable experience through international tours.[3]
However, Haakonsen took a brief hiatus from cricket due to selection issues.[3] 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.[3]
While awaiting his entry into the Academy, Haakonsen improved his fitness and underwent bowling action modification under coach Carl Rackemann.[3]
