Among the options, Afghanistan is the newest cricket team to have participated in recent T20 World Cups. Afghanistan gained ICC membership in 2001 and rapidly progressed to play in major ICC tournaments including the T20 World Cup, making them one of the newest entrants to international cricket's premier events.

Canada appeared in multiple Cricket World Cups (1979, 2003, 2011) but never faced India in the tournament stage. Despite participating in 3+ World Cups, Canada never played against India in World Cup matches due to tournament structure and groupings.

Kenya and Ireland were two Associate nations (without Test status) that gained direct entry to World Cups without going through qualifying rounds at certain points. Kenya's strong performance in 2003 (semifinalists) and Ireland's victories in 2007 and 2011 led to special considerations, though the question's framing about privileges has historical accuracy issues.

Sri Lanka did not have Test status or special privileges in the first World Cup (1975) - they were still an Associate nation. However, Sri Lanka went on to win the 1996 World Cup, making them the only team without initial Test status to win a World Cup. India and Pakistan already had Test status in 1975.

Kenya made history by reaching the semi-finals of the 2003 ICC Cricket World Cup as a non-Test playing nation, defeating Test teams like Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe along the way. This remains one of the most remarkable underdog stories in cricket World Cup history.

NRR = (Runs scored per over - Runs conceded per over). Team B scored 120 in 12 overs = 10 runs per over. They conceded 200 in 20 overs = 10 runs per over. NRR = 10 - 10 = 0, but wait - Team B was all out in 12 overs, so they are treated as if they played their full 20 overs. 120/20 = 6, 200/20 = 10, NRR = 6 - 10 = -4. This is the correct calculation method.
