Cricketer Nathan Lyon sells $3.8million Sydney home he shared with ex-partner Melissa Waring

Australian cricketer Nathan Lyon has sold the matrimonial home he shared with his ex-partner Melissa Waring following their very public split in 2017.

The four-bedroom home overlooking the Royal National Park in the south Sydney suburb of Port Hacking was sold this week for an undisclosed price, The Sunday Telegraph reported.

The off-spinner, 31, bought the Sutherland Shire home for $3.8million in 2016 and had lived there with Ms Waring and their two daughters Harper, five, and Milla, four.

Set on the shores of the Port Hacking River, the property offers its own private boat ramp and a series of tiered landscaped gardens by the water's edge.

The sale comes after he was chosen as part of Australia's 15-man World Cup squad due to play in the UK in May.

Lyon has been with his partner Emma McCarthy since 2017 - a relationship that was made public after he was pictured passionately kissing the Perth realtor in December of that year.

It comes after the bowler sold his investment apartment in Vaucluse for $1,085,000 in July 2018 - just months after his split from his partner of ten years.

He had initially failed to find a buyer at auction at a $1,125,000 sale price.

The home in a 1970s apartment block had been rented out for $800-a-week before being put up for auction.

The sale of his Sutherland Shire home this week is the second waterfront property he has sold in recent years in the south Sydney area.

In 2016, the renovated Oyster Bay home he bought for $1.4million two years earlier fetched $2,070,000 at auction.

Lyon holds the record for the most Test wickets by an Australian off-spinner.
