The three-match T20I series between Australia and New Zealand gets underway on Saturday.
"She's still working through her return-to-play plan. When she ticks off all those markers, she'll be available, but she's still working through that so we won't see her tomorrow," Cricket.com.au quoted Lanning as saying.
