He was educated at Wellingborough School, before going up to Pembroke College, Cambridge. While studying at Cambridge, he played first-class cricket for Cambridge University Cricket Club between 1993 and 1996, making 32 appearances. Playing as a medium pace bowler in the Cambridge side, Haste took 49 wickets at an average of 60.26. He took one five wicket haul, with figures of 5 for 73 against Oxford University in the 1995 University Match at Lord's. His bowling action in the match was described by Norman Harris of The Independent as having a "purposeful stride and vigorous action" and that "he looked a genuinely first-class bowler". As a lower order batsman, he scored 372 runs at a batting average of 13.28 from his 32 matches; he made one half century, a score of 51 against Oxford University in 1996. After graduating from Cambridge, Haste did not proceed further in the first-class game.
