From a young age, Habib was drawn to cricket’s charm, weaving his way through the chilly Scandinavian climate to nurture his skills on makeshift pitches.

His journey began in earnest when, as a teenager, Habib displayed an uncanny understanding of the game's demands, transitioning from local school matches to Finland's budding cricket leagues.
