As this scenario happened with you while playing or completion of play so this shows that due to some muscular strain or ligament sprain you have got an injury,so for that you need a proper assessment to rule out between the two and consultation by an experienced physiotherapist. For this you can consult us online.

did you hurt yourself while playing? Please avoid playing for a few days. Stretch the lower back muscles. And ice pack if the pain has been there for less than 7 days.

It could be a muscle Spasm or some joint related issue. Do some icing, or you can take any Over the counter pain killer. If pain doesn't resolve in 2 days then see a orthopaedic doctor or Physiotherapist.
