Nathan Lyon’s girlfriend Emma McCarthy enjoyed a high-profile welcome into the Aussie WAGs after the star’s messy split with his longtime partner.

After a rocky start, Nathan Lyon’s new partner has been officially welcomed by the fellow wives and girlfriends (WAGs) of the Australian cricket team as she stood out at the Sydney Test.

While Australia’s stars were getting battered by India out in the middle, Emma McCarthy attended the Jane McGrath high tea on day three of the New Year’s Test alongside the partners of Lyon’s teammates.

It’s become one of the biggest days on the Aussie cricket calendar and McCarthy’s appearance with Bonnie Paine, the wife of captain Tim Paine, and the rest of the women is a sign of her acceptance in the group after she started dating Lyon in acrimonious circumstances.
