It is likely you have pulled a muscle while playing.
Take painkillers, keep mobile, do gentle stretching and also apply heat packs with a hot water bottle.
The pain will gradually get better. Next time before starting to play do warm up and stretching, it will help.

Build muscle strength and flexibility. Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight strains back muscles. If you're overweight, trimming down can prevent back pain.....
