Lanser was born in Masterton, in New Zealand's Wellington Region,[1] and attended Wairarapa College.[2] She made her debut for Central Districts in New Zealand's State League during the 2008–09 season, and quickly established herself in the side.[3] In 2010, Lanser was invited to play for the Netherlands in the Women's County Championship, qualifying for the team by virtue of being a Dutch passport holder.[4] She was subsequently named in the Dutch squad for the 2010 European Championship, making her One Day International (ODI) debut against Ireland.[5]

Later in the year, Lanser played in the 2010 ICC Women's Challenge in South Africa, where she made her Twenty20 International debut.[6] In the team's loss to Pakistan in the ODI section of the tournament, she was named man of the match, after taking 2/22 from 10 overs and scoring 75 runs opening the batting.[7] Lanser's second and final major international tournament for the Netherlands was the 2011 World Cup Qualifier in Bangladesh, where she played four matches.[5]
