Lifecycle of #After method - junit

Question

I am trying to gather some information after every test method, and would like to analyze the gathered information after the test class completes. So, I have a private member variable, a list which I would like to add to after every test method completes. However, at the end of the day, the member variable always remains null.
Note: My test class implements Callable interface.
Here is my code snippet:
{
private List<String statisticsCollector;
private JUnitCore core = null;
private int x = 0;
public MyLoadTest() {
this.core = new JUnitCore();
this.statisticsCollector = new ArrayList<String>();
}
#Override
public List<String> call() {
log.info("Starting a new thread of execution with Thread# -" + Thread.currentThread().getName());
core.run(this.getClass());
return getStatisticsCollector(); // this is always returing a list of size 0
}
#After
public void gatherSomeStatistics() {
x = x+1;
String sb = new String("Currently executing ----" + x);
log.info("Currently executing ----" + x);
addToStatisticsCollector(sb);
}
#Test
#FileParameters(value = "classpath:folder/testB.json", mapper = MyMapper.class)
public void testB(MarsTestDefinition testDefinition) {
runTests(testDefinition);
}
#Test
#FileParameters(value = "classpath:folder/testA.json", mapper = MyMapper.class)
public void testA(MyDefinition testDefinition) {
runTests(testDefinition);
}
public List<String> getStatisticsCollector() {
return this.statisticsCollector;
}
public void addToStatisticsCollector(String sb) {
this.statisticsCollector.add(sb);
}
}
So, why is it always getting reset, even though I am appending to the list in my #After annotated method?
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Try with following code, is it working ?
private static List<String> statisticsCollector = new ArrayList<String>();
private JUnitCore core = null;
private int x = 0;
public MyLoadTest() {
this.core = new JUnitCore();
}
public List<String> getStatisticsCollector() {
return statisticsCollector;
}
