With the ball, he bowled ten overs for 38 runs, taking the wicket of Hemin Desai. Denmark lost the match by 5 wickets.[6]

In 2011, Larsen was selected as part of Denmark's squad for the 2011 ICC World Cricket League Division Three tournament in Hong Kong,[7] making five appearances.[3] In March 2012, Denmark took part in the World Twenty20 Qualifier in the United Arab Emirates, with Larsen selected in their fourteen man squad.[8] Larsen made his Twenty20 debut during the tournament against the Netherlands at the ICC Global Cricket Academy. He made a further appearance during the competition against Oman.[9] He scored 8 runs in his two matches, while with the ball he bowled just a single over.[10][11]

Outside of playing the game, Larsen worked for the Dansk Cricket Forbund as a youth development officer,[1] and later he also went on tour as the national team's physiotherapist.[12]
