Rhodes, Domingo, Mash all have seen something special in Liton. IMO, we currently don't have an attacking batsman of his caliber in the national team besides Soumya. IMO, he's totally worth sticking with in LOI.
However, I do like to see Nurul given an extended go in the Test team, given he's a way better keeper.

It's not that coaches have seen anything special. It is that litton is special. He has immense potential and it's shown when he is scoring those 20s and 30s but he gets himself out.
The reason why we are unhappy with Litton is that we have pinned our faith on him because we know he has the ability which others players don't have.
Also unfair to compare our seniors with Litton. Our seniors had played 26 matches before they were 20 and in that era we had poor domestics, average coaching staff and batting in that era wasn't as easy as it is now. Wait did I just say our Domestics is better now? We have DPL which has List A status now, a BCL where only the best play and even a Premier T20 league where top foreigners often participate. After all these facilities a 26 year old Litton is to be compared with a 20 year old Mushfiqur Rahim playing during tough times, then God help us!
