When the first ever World T20 played in South Africa most of the ICC full-time member have not played the format. Pakistan and India were confusion about sending their team to the World T20 in India.

But ICC lure the two subcontinent neighbor that they will award India the 2011 World Cup in Indian subcontinent even though Australia and New Zealand came up with a better plan for the tournament.  BCCI failed to fill the form so they ask one more week to the ICC along with PCB, BCB, and SLC to submit a complete form. There was no choice for India and Pakistan so they agreed.  In the final of the first World, T20 India and Pakistan met each other. Both  of them have never played a single T20  before the tournament.
