'''Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science''' is a sporting facility located in [[Chennai]]. It is a centre approved by the cricket's governing body [[International Cricket Council]] to conduct bowling trials specifically with the intention of monitoring the bowling action of the bowlers and to ascertain a clarity and thought process on whether the bowlers can make themselves available again for selections once they clear the air and prove their mettle by adjusting their bowling actions to justify the basic criteria that is pertinent to the bowlers to sustain in international cricket for a foreseeable future. It is apparently built up as a typical ultra-modern facility which remains as the only ICC accreditation in Asia for spotting suspected illegal bowling action.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dinakar |first=S. |date=2020-09-18 |title=Mahendra Singh Dhoni ties with up with Chennai’s CSS |url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/cricket/mahendra-singh-dhoni-retirement-chennai-cricket-academy-olympics-sports-news/article32642095.ece |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=Sportstar |language=en}}</ref>

In 2014, the [[International Cricket Council]] declared that the Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science was ideally fit and tailor made to conduct laboratory tests and examinations in order to verify bowling actions of bowlers in case if the bowlers face the prospect of concerns pertaining to chucking, throwing the ball by means of extending the elbow to a greater extent exceeding the bare minimum criteria of 15 degree.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Dinakar |first=S. |date=2019-02-01 |title=Sri Lanka off-break bowler Akila Dananjaya to get action tested at SRMC-CSS |url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/cricket/akila-dananjaya-action-tested-sri-ramachandra-medican-centre-sports-science-chennai-icc/article26153736.ece |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=Sportstar |language=en}}</ref> In around 2019, the Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science entered the procedure manual to renew the accreditation with the International Cricket Council to further extend the contract by negotiating for a fresh term of five years.<ref name=":0" />

In February 2019, Sri Lankan premium offspinner [[Akila Dananjaya]] underwent a comprehensive [[trial and error]] process at the Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science, where he eventually had his bowling action tested and analysed in its biomechanical facility. Akila Dananjaya was asked to rectify and remodel his bowling action at the Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science in order to make himself available again to play all forms of cricket, after his action had cast doubts regarding the legitimacy and genuiness of his runup when completing his bowling action in his follow-through which was first observed by the match officials and on-field umpires, during a three-match test series between Sri Lanka and England played in November 2018 in Sri Lankan soil.<ref name=":0" />
