When Shafiul came for the first time, we have seen him swinging the ball nicely. He lost it completely in this test. Rubel didn't get reserve swing, Robiul had some swing but was not consistent enough.

As you indicated , all these things suggest that they were not regular in practice. If a player has to depend on the national team practice sessions only to maintain and develop his skills then he better should stop playing cricket.

It's not hard to hang a net in a field and put three stumps in front of it. Get a ball boy to collect you the ball. Then continue practicing. You won't need national team set up for that. You can do it yourself even being in the remote part of the country.
And the truth will set you free.....
