On other hand Shakib's case is more on how to perform well against the oppositions even with limited talent like limited shot selection, limited turn on ball. And he (used to) does that by the ability to find the gaps quickly, well timed scoops, using pace variation in bowling,arm balls etc. He's cool headed customer obviously talented but not an exceptional talent.
And players like Shakib find it hard finding form after losing the charm once.

But he'll regain form soon because he plays for Bangladesh and here you get lot of time to regain form in national team. Cause in Bangladesh senior players get free ticket in the squad. Like Tamim didn't perform regularly in T20Is for long time. He had a poor ave with a strk rate of 100. After trying hard and hard at last just this year I have seen him performing regularly in the format for the first time.

And at least Shakib's loss of form isn't as bad as Tamim's one was.

Time will answer this question. Shakib is an allrounder and he contributes with his bat. SA lost Kallis and understood how valuable he was. In LOIs, batting has more to do with winning matches.
