As raised by the OP, it wouldn't be fair because Netherlands and Scotland are above Zimbabwe in the rankings.
I think the ICC is doing alright by not giving overdue preference to the Test playing nations for the T20 format. It is obvious that the BCB and other countries like Zimbabwe doesn't give much preference to this format compared to the other boards, lets say; Ireland and Netherlands whose players continuously play T20 for county and other domestics. These boards know, T20 is their only shot to fame among the top dogs.
So why shouldn't the ICC give them a chance for the main event?
