ashwin is superior at home but away shakib is superior. but if i was picking a team i'd pick shakib for both batting and bowling, i actually think he would do better if he was playing in a better team, i think he gets a bit demoralized at times and i think it's because he feels like he's the only one really trying for the win and i think he'd strive in an environment where everyone has the winning mentality and performs, he likes to compete.

ICC ranking looks only at last 3.5 years of performance. Moreover, it doesn't distinguish between home and away performance. In a sense if you award more credit to away performance, you should also penalize for not performing at home.
