The former Inter Milan forward is the last player who has scored in a World Cup tournament for the Italians but a drop in form coupled with his childish antics meant he was omitted from the Euro 2016 squad.
Ever since he joined Ligue 1 side OGC Nice in 2016, the versatile striker has improved his public image and performances on the pitch.
In 40 appearances for the French Riveria club, Balotelli has scored 26 goals and is overdue a recall to the international scene.
Goal scoring has been a struggle for Ventura's men and selecting Balotelli for the play-off matches would bring a sense of excitement for the fans and apprehension for opposition defenders.
