Early Career
Having played six Youth One Day Internationals for Denmark Under-19s in the 1998 Under-19 World Cup, Klokker made his debut for Denmark in a List A match against Ireland in the 2000 ICC Emerging Nations Tournament in Zimbabwe. Shortly after this match, he played his second List A match against the Durham Cricket Board in English domestic crickets 2000 NatWest Trophy, a tournament Denmark were permitted to take part in. He featured in the 2001 ICC Trophy in Canada, making nine appearances. He scored 147 runs in the tournament, at an average of 18.37 and with a high score of 36. In August of that year, he made a further List A appearance in the first round of 2002 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy (previously the NatWest Trophy) against Suffolk. The match was played in 2001 to avoid fixture congestion in the following season.
In 2002, Klokker joined the Marylebone Cricket Club Young Cricketer's programme. Two further List A appearances followed, one in that season in the 1st round of the 2003 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy against the Leicestershire Cricket Board, played to the same arrangement as the previous seasons fixture, and another in the 2004 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy against Wales Minor Counties, played in 2003. Klokker was a substitute fielder for England during their Test match against New Zealand at Lord's in May 2004. In 2005, Klokker appeared in his second and final ICC Trophy, which was held in Ireland. The International Cricket Council afforded List A status to these matches, with him making seven appearances during the tournament. Klokker had a successful tournament with the bat, scoring 218 runs at an average of 54.50, while in the process recording his maiden century against the United States at The Mall, Armagh.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or career:
“Everyone in our culture wants to win a prize. Perhaps that is the grand lesson we have taken with us from kindergarten in the age of perversions of Dewey-style education: everyone gets a ribbon, and praise becomes a meaningless narcotic to soothe egoistic distemper.”
—Gerald Early (b. 1952)
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
