His hard work and passion for cricket resulted in his selection to the South Western Districts’ ‘Under-19' team. He was selected as batsman and left-arm fast bowler. He played against some of the top teams from other provinces. Joshua was very hopeful to get selected in the 'National Under-19' team. Unfortunately, he couldn’t make it to the team.
Joshua moved to the United Kingdom and played with 'Burslem Cricket Club,' Stoke-on-Trent. He played under the club for the next six months. He was happy and satisfied to play the game again. He was also getting paid for the matches. His best friend, Caspar, was also residing there, and they used to spend a lot of time together discussing their respective career plans. After six months, Joshua returned to Cape Town where he continued playing cricket. He also offered cricket coaching to kids and simultaneously worked at a restaurant to support his finances.
In 2015, he moved to London to give his cricket career a boost. His plan was to join a cricket club to get more exposure. But to his disappointment, nothing of that sort happened and after around a month, his health deteriorated. His dreams shattered when the doctor diagnosed 'Glandular Fever' and asked him to take complete rest. On the brighter side, this adverse situation opened a new avenue for Joshua.

Social Media Career
While Joshua was recovering from his illness, he spent a lot of time with Caspar. At that time, Caspar was planning to launch a clothing line of his own. He offered Joshua to join him as he thought him to be a good fit for his venture. Joshua too found the idea quite interesting.
Joining Caspar turned out to be a wise decision for Joshua. Caspar, who was also an established YouTuber, started featuring Joshua in his vlogs. This encouraged Joshua’s roommate Joe, who is also a well-known vlogger now, to join them.
Joshua then began appearing in several videos of Caspar and Joe’s individual channel. They mostly used to create prank, challenge, and all sorts of fun videos. After Joshua recovered completely, he had made his mind to start his own channel. He finally set-up his self-titled YouTube channel, which has over 886 thousand subscribers. He later created his second channel. Joshua also has an 'Instagram' account where his amazing pictures have earned him over 460 thousand followers.
Joshua and Caspar still collaborate to create entertaining videos. Since they both are from Knysna, they collaborated to raise funds to help the victims of the fire.
Personal Life
Joshua Pieters was born on September 17, 1993, in Knysna, Western Cape, South Africa. He has an elder brother named Jonty and a sister named Danielle.
Joshua owes his YouTube career to his best friend, Caspar. It was because of his encouragement that Joshua became a vlogger. Josh was 14 when he first met him. It was a tennis match that Joshua lost to Caspar. He did not like Caspar much after the first meeting. A few days later, Josh again met Caspar in the school. The awkwardness developed after the first meeting vanished soon and they became best of friends.
Joshua has now completely shifted his focus to his social media career, but he still takes out time for cricket, his first love after all!
