All three players took primary medical treatment at a local hospital in Savar and came back to the academy building in Mirpur.
The three were taken into the squad as stand-by options and as a result had to travel on a different bus - a coaster bus - to that of the main team players.
The coaster bus had a head-on collision with another bus carrying passengers.
As a result, Zakir, who has represented the national team in a T20I received a head injury while Mehedi injured his chest and Manik, his leg.
After losing the first match by a big margin, the emerging team won the second one to level the series 1-1 and the third game - the series decider will be played on 24 August in Khulna.
